    Could be! This one somewhere before Monreal was a godsend.

    Camino Aragones in April

    There were a few water fountains but agree re: the food. My RX protein bars (brought from the US) saved me on a number of segments on the Aragónés last summer.

    Advice: should we attempt SJPP to Roncesvalles?

    Looks like you’ve gotten a lot of amazing answers. I’m just here to add that you should absolutely stay at orisson if you can because it is an amazing, unmatchable experience that will shape the rest of your Camino. I would have so regretted not staying there. (PS, I did SJPP to Santiago in 34...

    Crossing the Pyrenees from Oloron St. Marie, Bedous or Canfranc Estacion: Tips for Starting the Camino Aragones

    Hi! I haven't walked the Primitivo so I can't say for sure which is "harder." How much time do you have, and will you be walking alone or with a companion. The route from Oloron to Somport is absolutely stunning and I highly recommend it, especially if you can space it out more than I did...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Travelling to France - Can I get Vaccine (Health) Pass at the airport pharmacy?

    I made a short video about this whole process, which is current as of Dec 2021 (it’s just now the vaccine pass instead of the health pass). And yes try to have them scan the pass before you leave to make sure it’s valid. Step by Step: a Vaccinated American’s Experience Obtaining the French...

    There wasn’t last summer! You just literally walk up a hill and then are in Somport.

    Crossing the Pyrenees from Oloron St. Marie, Bedous or Canfranc Estacion: Tips for Starting the Camino Aragones

    Thanks for the alternative perspective! My day did indeed end with steep downhill, but that's probably because I went all the way to Villanua; it was any extremely long day. I still believe this day would be very tough for new pilgrims, unless quite experienced in hiking, but I definitely...

    Hi. I went through this in December with the Health Pass, although I believe the procedure will be the same. I got my pass at CDG airport and discuss all the details in this YouTube video. Hope it's helpful!!

    Crossing the Pyrenees from Oloron St. Marie, Bedous or Canfranc Estacion: Tips for Starting the Camino Aragones

    Thanks for providing your insight! I too would not recommend this as a first Camino, especially for inexperienced hikers. I saw a few pilgrims, but not tons. I am so so so mad at myself for missing the experience in Sarrance - guess I have to get back! My poles also saved me from the dog -...

    Crossing the Pyrenees from Oloron St. Marie, Bedous or Canfranc Estacion: Tips for Starting the Camino Aragones

    For anyone looking to walk the Camino Aragones, which meets up with the Camino Frances at Puente La Reina, I highly recommend starting in Oloron St. Marie or Bedous France and actually crossing the Pyrenees and entering Spain by at Somport. It's remote, stunning scenery, and the Pyrenees...

    Updates and changes on the Aragones route in the Pyrenees

    Hi there. I walked the Aragones last summer, starting a few stages prior on the Chemin d'Arles in Oloron St. Marie. I think what they may be referring to is a creation of an actual Camino trail between Borce and Urdos. Currently, the only route is on the shoulder of the N134 roadway, which is...
