[QUOTE="amancio, post: 634485, member: 2440"] The main station is Delicias, that is where you should normally take the train, it is the departure point. Keep an eye open after Ayerbe, the train will slowly go past the Mallos de Riglos, a stunning towering rock formation full of vultures and large prey birds, then the route up river Aragón is just a dream train trip, beautiful views, a windy railroad uphill, slowly, slowly up the hill... And then you get off the train in Canfranc station in the evening, and you think you just travelled back in time. It is one of the most beautiful railway routes in Spain. You will love it! Also, past Sangüesa, I would never miss the Foz de Lumbier diversion, being there first thing in the morning on your own, after crossing an old railway tunnel in complete darkness is something unique too. For that tunnel, let me give you a piece of advice; take a stick or a walking pole, hold it in your hand against the wall and let is slide as you walk. The stick gives you an indication of where the wall is, even if you do not see a thing and eventually you see the light at the end of the tunnel. I would try to make it september, I would not be sure the albergues in Arrés and Ruesta, two magical places, will be open in october. Anything else, just whistle, amigo! I am attaching a couple of photos, los Mallos de Riglos [ATTACH=full]43999[/ATTACH] You can find information about historical Canfranc station here, only thing is, the photo with Hitler and Franco was NOT taken in Canfranc, but in Hendaye, France. When I got of the train there, I was the only passenger in the train, it was just me and the driver/engineer. Eery! [URL]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2387682/The-abandoned-Nazi-railway-station-mountains-fell-disrepair--hides-secret-laboratory-researching-dark-matter.html[/URL] Finally, another unique place off-route (there are quite a few more, like San Juan de la Peña romanesque cluster embedded in the rocks), or the castle in Arrés, the abandoned town of Ruesca where everybody left the place one morning and abandoned it, or my favourite Foz de Lumbier gorge [ATTACH=full]44002[/ATTACH] I can only praise this incredible Camino, I did it end of September 3 years ago. Unique, it is a pity fewer and fewer pilgrims choose this route. [/QUOTE]
