We are planning this route as far as Burgos starting in May, except that we are starting from Monserrat - the walk from Barcelona didn´t seem very inspiring. From Monserrat, there are pretty good options, mostly albergues, and we will be keeping...
Hi, In 2012 I walked from Barcelona to Monserrat then followed the Catalan Camino through Huesca and San Juan de la Peña to join with the Camino Aragonese and then the Camino Francés at Puente la Reina.

My husband and I will be spending a few days in Barcelona before I start my Camino in May. I am planning to take the train to Zaragoza the same day that he flies home. I plan to spend two nights in Zaragoza, then take the train to Canfranc...
