    No room at the inn (Najera)

    2 nights,ago I stayed at San Lorenzo hostal. I can't recommend it enough for a single, double or triple room in Najéra. Great hosts, good breakfast. High quality bed linen and towels. In the old town almost on the camino.

    Starting 25 April SJPDP - clothing choice

    Best wishes on your 1st camino. I'd suggest gloves like liner gloves and a neck cowl. Easy to put on and take off. Don't duplicate scarves and cowls to avoid unnecessary weight.

    Ruesta - dinner AND lunch?

    Hi all, the lunch stop in Artieda was excellent, ok it was a climb up the hill but the views were worth the extra metres. Ruesta, I didn't book dinner or breakfast until checking in. Dinner was good served by very friendly staff, breakfast was left out so we could eat and leave at whatever time...

    SJPdP one night or two?

    Arrive in the morning or midday to SJPDP, soak on the atmosphere, then after one night walk to Orrison or 1km further to Borda to relax and fully enjoy the trek over the Pyrinees.

    Hotel Continental, St Jean PdP

    If you want comfort for the first night, hotel Central is in a good location, very nice hotel. Gîte accommodation mostly on rue de la Citadelle offers a more authentic experience. Depends on what way you prefer to start. Buen camino.

    Does anyone know of any shorter pilgrimage routes around the world?

    It depends on which path you choose, there is probably more planning involved. Hostels are fewer but there are guest house style accommodation or hotels.

    Descent into Roncesvalles

    The pilgrim office in SJPDP recommends not to take the forest route. The alternate is quite beautiful.
