- Francés Primitivo Aragonés/Francés, Portugues Fisterra/Muxia Norte San Salvador Via Gebennesis
Hi everybody, back in Sweden now after walking the Aragonés and then, from Puente la Reina, the Francés to Santiago.
I wwant to encourage everybody to walk the aragonés as it is absolutely lovely. Despite being a "mountaincamino" it is not hard at all, nothing like the Primitivo, the surroundings are amazing, I just felt happy to be there. The albergues are good, especially Arres, donativo, and Ruestas, private, located high up in the mountains surrounded by ruins, should not be missed. You can do the walk in 6 days but there are enough albergues to stop by if you want to make shorter stages and take some more days.
In the beginning of June we were 10-15 pilgrims staying at the same albergues every night, we became like a family The weather was vey hot, +30 something, I not sure, and that was the only problem since you will have long streches without any possibilities to get water or eat. The weather seems to be vey unpredictable, met a Spanish pilgrim who walked last year, starting June 1 and it was snowing when he set out from Somport, I started only with my t-shirt at 7 in the morning.
This is a Camino I would love to walk again!
