I walked into Puente la Reina today. Maximum temperature here is about 42°C at 6pm.
I've just watched the news and they are talking about fires in Obanos - about 30 minutes walk before Puente la Reina.
I've tried Googling to see if it's on the Camino path but I can't find anything recent.
People in Pamplona need to be aware that the path may be affected.
If anyone has any more information please post.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
According to this article the fire is a few km south of the Camino Frances between Mendigorría and Artajona. But these fires can spread rapidly in such conditions. As well to keep an eye on events.

On the television news the Mayoress of Obanos is speaking about how the fires are affecting Obanos. I think there are a couple of fire zones.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

This website is giving live updates. Apparently the fire has spread but so far is not close to the urban areas.
 
With the growing amount of fires and unwalkable temperatures on camino routes I feel very badly for those people who because of work and other circumstances have to walk during peak fire/temperature season. I also worry if in the future this will lower the number of pilgrims and hurt so many family owned businesses that support pilgrims.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.
