We had pizza at Il Fornaccio in Arzua which was great. It was a long walk but I am sure the quality of the food was not just based on the depth of our hunger.
Thanks for the advice Paul. This is very helpful. I was wondering how to make it work to "start" at Somport and still have a place to stay as the hostels seem to be booked up. If the Albergue Elías Valiña Canfranc *Pueblo* is willing to take people for two nights that would be perfect. I would...
I am planning on hiking the Camino Aragones in early July 2024. I have booked a flight to Barcelona but am unsure of how to get to Somport. I have heard you can take a train to Jaca and then a bus but I can not tell if it stops in Somport and the schedules are not posted. Has anyone taken the...
I knew the Aragones Camino existed but I know little about it. I am hoping to walk the Frances starting in July and wanted to start on the French border. I am not too sure where to start as I am just starting my reseach. This post has some good info ... thank you.
We did this trip in the summer. Just as an FYI ... we could not make the bus connection so we shared a cab from Pamplona to SJPDP. It was 110 Euros. If I had to do it again I would spend the night in Pamplona and take the bus the next day. Maybe the schedule will change by the time you go. The...
My wife and I are arriving in Pamplona via Barcelona by train on June 29th around 1330 in the afternoon. We seem to be too late for a bus to SJPDP and are hoping to find a couple people willing to share a taxi. The ideal situation would be someone on the same Renfe train from Barcelona and who...
I was looking for the bus schedule and could not find it. I believe it is ALSA that we take but SJPDP does not seem to be listed. Tried a few variations of spelling. Any tips? I am likely missing the obvious.
We are flying into Barcelona in June 2022 and then trying to get to SJPDP in one day after a couple of days of sightseeing. Is it still reasonable to get to SJPDP in one day from Barcelona?
We completed the walk from Porto following the Coastal Route and doing the Variante Espiritual. We did not have any issues with our Compostella. What we were told was that you need to start far enough away from SDC so that you will have walked 100 km. I forget the town to start. There is also a...
Thanks for this tip. We recently saw the movie "Footprints: The Path of Your Life" and it was the side trip they took to see part of the cross that was the original reason for the post. We were not sure if there are detours may just miss. We are not doing a lot of planning on the way other than...
Great advice. We don't plan to have a big list but there are some sites we wish we would have known about on the Coastal route last year so we could have chosen to see them. We really enjoyed the Variante Espiritual for example which we did not plan to take but found out about just before we...
