Best Time

[noam chen]

Hello,

Just got back from my second Primitivo. Would like to walk the Aragon Way, and wondering what time would be the best? In addition - any recommended guidebooks / websites?

Thanks, Noam

Hi Noam. I just completed the Aragonese. The weather was wonderful every day. I would suggest September.

I walked the Aragon from Oloron St. Marie in May 2012 as acontinuance. from GR 65. The way up to the border at Somport was difficult and beacause of bad weather I was advised not to walk along the path but stay on the road because the path was dangerous. In my opinion the road was dangerous as well.
The route down from Somport was OK .

I would also suggest September.....

And you should start from Lourdes....

Walked in early April - snow at the start, but this year had a late winter. I’d walk it again in April

Definitely not in Summer. And the CSJ UK guide is a couple of years out-of-date, so it's not entirely reliable presently.

Hey Sharon, would you recommend any guidebook or a specific app / website to get more info on the way itself? was it crowded?

We used the updated CSJ guide plus Miam Miam Dodo as we had been walking from Arles and these guides included the Aragones as well.
Otherwise, Gronze.com is good.
In most albergues, there were some spare beds, but in Sanguesa only room for one more. Most days there was up to 20 pilgrims or slightly more. There seemed to be a lot in Jaca.
