Day 4 - 17 August: Ochagavia to Isaba

Before leaving Ochagavia we stopped to buy some bread for lunch.  Jim soon figured out the perfect way to carry it.

 If there was one day on our walk that we could have taken a bus instead this was it.  It was very hot, probably in the 40's and it was a long dreary walk along the tops on a gravel forestry road, interspersed with farming.  We took many stops in the shade to recover.

   After reaching a high point of 1370m we left the gravel road and followed a walking track through more attractive open scenery.

  Then it was a big drop down through a forest to Isaba.  There was no suitable camping so we enjoyed the comforts of staying in a hostel.

We went out to dinner at a local cafe, Pension Txiki, where we enjoyed a very filling 3 course dinner with a bottle of wine for 12 Euros.  Eating out in Spain does not start until 8.30pm.
