I’m on the Aragonés now and I’m struggling to figure out how to see the monasteries without killing myself on the dangerous path! I’d also really rather not take a taxi any more than I have to. How about this: from Jaca I walk on the camino path...
THe photos are after the old monastery and walking down the Camino path to Santa Cruz. Take the road down. it is a little further, but in the end maybe faster. The path between the monasteries is steep and rocky, but not treacherous. You can...
Unfortunately, emergency repairs are keeping the Pueblo albergue closed until April 16th. I would hope they had put a sign in the window, but perhaps it fell down or blew away. I’m sorry that didn’t work out for you, but it reinforces that on...
Thanks for the reports from the trail. I am here now and your experiences are helpful.

I and my Partner set out from Porto March 16th with the intention of reaching Santiago on or about April 1st. We reached Tui, checked into a hotel and went out to dinner. On the way back to the hotel, my partner slipped on the sidewalk and...
They are not ridiculous devices if it allows women to pee discretely and standing up just like men do. Without taking down their pants.
It also cuts down the TP litter plus all the 1000s of plastic bags needed for this TP if it is to be carried...
Observations, OSM-Somport

1. Route is well marked, mostly red/white GR.
2. Far fewer services than you may be used to compared to the CF.
3. We found very few pilgrims accommodations open.
4. Prices were a...
