I did this in October 2017: the first week (and the hardest walking) the easy way, with Ramblers Worldwide Holidays providing leaders, baggage transfer, and taxis where the accommodation was a few km off-route, and then when they went home I carried on walking. Enjoy!
Like Anthony Rocco I walked the Ignatian Camino (in October 2017). I met quite a few Camino del Ebro Pilgrims as they were going the other way. I don’t have much Spanish, but when accommodation needed to be booked by phone, I found the local tourist office was willing to oblige.
Five days in, I have had two good experiences of acceuil pèlerin with hosts who went over and beyond what I expected, one night in a Monastery where I shared mealtimes with two other guests, and two nights in hotels. It's good, as a solo walker, to have company in the evenings.
I'm planning to walk this route beginning on 1 September, and would be interested to hear from anyone who has done this and their experience of the waymarking and "accueil pèlerin".
