    LIVE from the Camino Camino Aragonés - April 2023

    Yes, I walked it in July 2022. Last week I completed my blog walking from Jacabto Pamplona. Please have a look. https://docpamaragonesecaminojaca.blogspot.com A challenging route where I became lost almost every day.

    My Aragones July 2022

    I did not see any food for sale at the monasteries. We stopped on the way down at the little beautiful town, visited their church, photographed the chimneys, and had drinks at the bar.

    You talk about 'he'. Is that me? I am female - thanks.

    My Aragones July 2022

    In Lumbier be careful crossing the road to the hotel from the Foz road. There is no zebra crossing and cars come flying down the hill.

    My Aragones July 2022

    As I walked the route from Jaca to Sante Cilia I kept thinking I was actually on the road to the monasteries - the route went up and up. The comments above about the signage - mmm.

    My Aragones July 2022

    Monreal has unexpected charms. The main bar only seems to open late. The ATM in the town is very modern (for me) - it videos you as you draw cash! There is a bar in the lower part of the town which opens at 8 in the morning - great breakfast food (bacon and egg bocadillio) - bought a roll to...

    My Aragones July 2022

    I did try to find the correct way. I did not walk on the highway intentionally. I could not find the correct way. If you go to the hotel in Lumbier be careful of booking via Booking.com as you then do not get a discount. I did not get a discount. I did not ask for one as I did not know about it.

    I have done the Primitivo twice - will not do it again. On the second time in 2015 it was very crowded. Hope you select a good time to walk it.

    My Aragones July 2022

    On 4 June there was no app for the Aragones route. Maybe there is one now. Michael Matynka said he may have time to finish it before I left but I did not check. I walked to Sante Cilia because I intended taking a taxi up to the monastery. When we were at the monastery we did see a bus there - I...

    My Aragones July 2022

    It is very lonely. There were few pilgrims, but I could not speak Spanish and their English was rudimentary. I am 73 and walked slowly.

    My Aragones July 2022

    In 2018 I walked the Aragones from Lourdes in a tour group. In Jaca I fell and broke my leg. I wanted closure on the route and to see why I broke the leg. This diary describes my journey to Jaca and walking to Puenta la Reina. Friday – 22 July Travelled by train from Madrid to Zaragoza. Missed...

    Pilgrim in spirit?

    I have just walked from Jaca to Puente la Reina. I had my backpack sent ahead by Correos on the days they worked. Based on this post I would have not been permitted at the donativo albergue at Arress. However I am over 72 and broke my leg at Jaca in 2018 after having walked from Lourdes. I...
