    LIVE from the Camino Canfranc Estacion IS Happening!!!

    A lot of terribly sad and horrific history there, but an exquisite building. The highs and the absolute nadir of humanity reflected in that building and the beautiful surroundings…

    Observations on the Aragones, May-June 2018

    Well, it is tougher in places, but just gorgeous. I guess I would have to differ though regarding Canfranc Station. The history alone is fascinating enough to spend more than a day there. And on the French side, Fort de Portalet is equally fascinating. My first time over Somport was via Oloron...

    Canfranc Station News

    I have very mixed feelings about this ... It would be a shame to turn this into a Disneyland, but it would also be a shame to let the station lay fallow, so to speak... There's a haunting (and I feel appropriate) feel to the station nowadays, which I fear, once stores/restaurants/hotels/an...

    It is a great trail. One of my favorites!

    Sharp decline in pilgrims, Camino Aragonés

    Walked the Aragonés to Puente la Reina (started in Arles) last year. Other than a Canadian pair, who pretty much did their own thing, all I met were Spanish walkers — about 8 folks who knew each other from earlier walks and who kept the albergues lively and fun. An extremely beautiful walk!

    Observations on the Aragones, May-June 2018

    Love your comments regarding Canfranc Station - I even ended up buying, and carrying (!) three heavy books I bought there regarding its history the rest of the way to Puente La Reina :)

    Agree on everything, except to me, the VdlP was my favorite :) But they're all great!

    Observations on the Aragones, May-June 2018

    I loved Canfranc station, but sadly, i think the numbers saved may have been in the hundreds, rather than the thousands - but either way, it is truly an amazing history and an amazing structure!

    Observations on the Aragones, May-June 2018

    Good post, but I beg to differ - Canfranc Station is one of the absolute highlights of the walk, if for the history of the station alone. Agree the Jaca museum is superb. And the actual Aragones part of the Voie d'Arles was relatively (emphasis on the word "relatively") busy compared to the...

    Sharp decline in pilgrims, Camino Aragonés

    Going off the GR 65 at Navarrenx and continuing on to Oloron-Ste. Marie and the GR 653, and on to Col du Somport into Spain, to Jaca (and beyond, if you have the time!). But I loved the main Le Puy trail too!

    Sharp decline in pilgrims, Camino Aragonés

    I just recently walked the Chemin du Puy to Navarrenx, and it was fantastic. Very social, in a french way, the great majority of walkers being, well, french. I reluctantly, after talking about it for several weeks while on the Le Puy trail (plus the Vallee de Cele variant), struck off on my...
