- Time of past OR future Camino
- 2017
Hola, Peregrino(a)s!
My son and I are getting together for extended travel for the first time since his early teens and this is the section that he chose to walk...out of any in the world!
I would not bother to ask these questions but for the fact that the Camino has been evolving at a fairly rapid clip and it has been a few years since I was last on this stretch.
We will only have about 8-10 days available for walking in late April to early May. We will arrive Pamplona from the US one day and start walking the next. So, now you have the background, onto the questions:
a) Does Caminoteca have walking staffs? (I lack the motor skills to use sticks. True fact!) Other vendor options for a staff that would be open as early as 8 am?
b) Has the rocky grade down from Alto de Perdon been improved or is it still treacherous footing? (Strangely, I seem to have gotten older in the last few years. )
c) I do not think a full day to Puente le Reina is in the cards given the circumstances of the first day out.. So, which is the better place to catch a taxi - Uterga or Zariquiegui?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
