Mount Vihren in Pirin is not the highest in Bulgaria, but it's probably the most challenging. The scenery changes as fast as the weather can, so it is both rewarding and very tricky to conquer this peak. Steep stones make it even harder for those with knee pains. Trekking in the area is a must activity for all the active outdoor junkies in the area.
Tip: Get acquainted with the forecast and all the possible routes. Prepare with some exercise to avoid collapses along the trek.

Camino alternatives
Monday, May 1st. A festive day, but my knee needs some medical attention. Nace and I go to the hospital, the three girls continue on the Camino – we’ll meet in Nájera. The doctor says I need 3-5 days of rest. We hop on the bus to get to Nájera, where everyone is in a festive mood and there’s a Medieval festival. We get together in the afternoon to share how the day went. Al Capone is preparing burgers for us. Rioja wine is not to be missed!

It all started in St. Jean Pied de Port…
So this year we decided to head to this town in France and start from the beginning. Our taxi dropped us just nearby the Citadelle which was our official starting point of Camino Francés 2017. We took a couple of selfies, got our first stamp in our pilgrims' credentials and a map or two. That was the easy part. What was next? Crossing the Pyrenees in one day.
It was a sunny day, way too sunny for crossing a mountain! This stage gave us mesmerizing views and sunburn and took us 10 hours. “We’ll have to open the 3rd floor” – the words of a hospitalera who greeted us in Roncesvalles, well-known for the Battle of Roncesvalles. We have won our first battle – we survived crossing the Pyrenees and nobody reported injuries or blisters. Something was different though.

A day in the beautiful country of San Marino ??
We got а deja vu from entering Liechtenstein from Switzerland last year - the border is invisible. On the billboards, we judged that people definitely go shopping in the small country. Our accommodation was in Emma's guest house, which towers in a green area above the vineyards and features amazing views of the city of San Marino and Mount Titano with its three towers.
San Marino parking lots were much cheaper, much more available, and better organized. We left the car and through a system of several elevators we were at the foot of the Old Town. The city of San Marino is built on a massive hill, but the hike up and down to explore the three towers is totally worth it. The beginning of the Holy Republic of San Marino, according to the legend, was given by the stonemason St. Marinus, who established a monastic society on Mount Titano in 301 AD. That is why San Marino is considered to be the oldest surviving sovereign state in the world. The economy is driven by finance, industrial production, services, and tourism. Small countries are very similar in some respects. And San Marino is a modern example of diarchy rule (as is Andorra), in which the state is ruled by two rulers with equal power.
We are very pleased with the day we spent in country number 81 (or 82 - we still have internal disputes on the matter). Once we found the most delicious pizza in the country, explored two of the towers up close and the third from a little further away, and got magnets and a bottle of sparkling San Marino wine for later, all we had to do was get take-out food for home and welcome the night with a view and terrace lights. Although there were mosquitoes, we managed to rest very well.
In the morning Emma surprised us with a hearty breakfast with piadini, pizzas, strudels, pecorino from San Marino, cappuccino, we have to stop here - because we started salivating again. We absorbed some more of the view, which was like a live postcard, and headed for Rimini.
