[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 641150, member: 537"] Ok, wonders never cease. I have now successfully merged the two threads into one. I think it is far more helpful to forum members that way, but [USER=45108]@lindam[/USER] if you have a special reason to keep them separate, just let me know and I will separate them. Just to add that there is in fact a marked camino between Jaca and Santa Cilia de Jaca, which is frequently off-road and never dangerous. The Cami Catalan merges with the Camino Aragonés before Santa Cilia, going from Santa Cruz de Serós through countryside. As [USER=80784]@LGLG[/USER] noted, both Jaca and Santa Cilia are on the Camino Aragonés. My notes from that section: [I]The 15 km from Jaca back to Santa Cilia de Jaca were almost all off road. The camino was either to the right of the highway, near the river, or up on the hillside to the left of the highway. [/I] When [USER=8594]@LTfit[/USER] and I did this route, we decided we wanted to "backtrack" a bit when we merged with the Aragonés, mainly to see the mountains north of Jaca at the Puerto Somport. When we arrived in Santa Cilia, we saw that there was a bus up to Somport, but it came through at 5 pm. Since it was mid morning, we thought that would be a very long wait. So we tried to hitch hike. First 20 minutes or so with our thumbs out alongside the national road. Nothing. Then we got the smart idea to go into town to the place where people leaving Santa Cilia have to stop before merging onto the national road. I approached the first car that stopped, explained our situation, and he took us all the way to the Somport pass, even though he had only intended to go on to Jaca! Since we arrived in Somport in early afternoon, we walked down to Canfranc Station and spent the night there. The next night in Jaca. And from Jaca, we went on to Arres, which was a high point. Good call, [USER=45108]@lindam[/USER], to plan a return visit. I've got some more details on some older threads: [URL='https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/camino-catal%C3%A1n-from-montserrat-through-huesca.36443/']https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/camino-catalán-from-montserrat-through-huesca.36443/[/URL] [URL='https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/our-camino-aragon%C3%A9s-june-2015.36782/']https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/our-camino-aragonés-june-2015.36782/[/URL] Glad to see more people on the Catalán. I would walk it again -- the albergue infrastructure is great -- but I would try to go earlier. When we went in June, there were some pretty hot days of parched landscapes. [/QUOTE]
