It was very rainy in the September 2022 day we began our Camino from SJPP, so we took the Valcarlos route. We had planned to take it all along, but had the day been beautiful, we might have taken the NR. The Valcarlos Route was so pretty! We had not been prepared for how pretty and varied the terrain would be, some pretty easy, some less so (definitely places to be very careful), some street walking, some cows and their leavings. But a good route for a rainy day. We thought it was a pretty long day, but we are not fast walkers!
