H Karl, I didn't stop in Oloron but followed the Arles to Somport. Perhaps this thread could help.
Cheers

Hi Guys,
Not long ago I read about a fairly new route connecting Santiago to Muxia. I am looking for the post and/or thread and I cannot find it. Anyone will have it handy?
Many thanks,

Couple of Kms outside of Hornillos I heard some noise and thought it was another peregrino catching on. All of a sudden I turned around and there was this big dog being playful and jumping around me. I managed to take a selfie with him!
I met today Amancio in his store and bought a pair of Lorpen socks which I have not been able to buy anywhere in Barcelona and Burgos. Amazing store and beautiful man. Please support this legend. He has a very nice sello!
We hit the bar in Monreal, which is owned and operated by a local cooperative on a Friday night just right before the holidays and the place was full to the top.
The one in Yesa was closed but just about to reopen for the year.
I met a couple of Dutch reverse walking from Santiago back home in...
Day 13: Monreal to Puente la Reina (34.4 Km)
Started early to avoid the heat, although started quite cold. Later in the day, I enjoyed for the first time walking in shorts!
Made through the Church of Saint Mary of Eunate around 4 pm, another must place to visit and arrived to Puente la Reina...
Day 12: Sanguesa to Monreal (32.3 Km)
My Spanish companions left so I was on my own for this long day.
I took the detour through the Foz de Lumbier, an amazing place worth the extra 5 Km. Crossed the tunnels with the torch app in my phone.
Later in the day, I enjoyed for the first time walking...
Day 11: Ruesta to Sanguesa (30.2 Km)
Another very long day with a very well worth detour to Javier Castle, place of birth of Saint Francis Xavier.
Planning to stay in Yesa but found out the albergue was closed so turned back to Sanguesa. Today I walk with 2 of the Spaniards and that made the...
sorry for the lack of info guys, I have been busy walking and with little time or internet connection to proceed.
Day 10: Arrés to Ruesta (28.4 Km)
Long day with views to the Yesa Reservoir.
Ruesta is an abandoned place with only one albergue, run by the very nice Franco.
Only have seen 4...
forgot to mention, the views to the Pyrenees are beautiful and don't forget to look back during your climb to Arrés to see the Peña Oroel in the background.
Day 9: Jaca to Arrés (26 Km).
Good day for walking, sunny and cold. Started early with 3º Celsius and made good progress along the Canal de Berdún until I heard heavy gunfire few km outside of Jaca. A little worrisome as I was walking in its direction until I came across a local that informed it...
So, I forgot to say more about Jaca. Day 8 and rest. Besides all the sighting and rest, I had the opportunity to meet Francisco Calderon, the Don Quijote of Jaca. My perception is that he is a misunderstood person trying to bring the Camino Aragones to public attention. He hangs out by the...
I stayed 1st night next to the Cathedral at a hostal, Casa del Arco but found it to noise that I couldn't sleep. Then I moved to the Albergue Jaca, owned by the church. A little distant from the center but not that bad and veryyy quiet!
I visit the museum and also the Monastery of San Juan de...
