- 2019 Camino Francés SJPdP to Leon
Hi,
My plan is to fly to Biarritz in early May make my way to St. Jean de Pied Port. I have two proposed routes. I like the Camino Frances, but I want to see more countryside (plus I am birdwatcher) so the Pyrenees are interesting. I’d like some interaction mixed in with the walking so ideally semi regular villages so I can have a coffee/snack/beer/practice my basic French (or maybe walking in France is very different to walking in Spain and I am being unrealistic).
Any thoughts on the following?
Route One
From Biarritz take the train to Saint Jean de Luz and walk to Hendaye and spend the night. Following morning I'll join the GR10 and take a week to get to St. Jean de Pied Port.
Route Two
(I've borrowed from a suggestion by Pelerina found on this thread https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...-sjpp-or-bayonne-3-6-days.83233/#post-1184566)
From Biarritz get train to Bayonne and train to Orthez and then walk the 16 kms to Arthez-de-Béarn on the Puy Camino and make my way to SJdPP
From St. Jean de Pied Port I'll continue on to Pamplona and then return to Biarritz. More than happy to spend one further night in Pyrnees if anyone has suggestions of a particularly nice place or fly out an alternative airport if convenient.
All the best,
Tom
