    What is your favorite (affordable) restaurant on the Camino Frances?

    We had pizza at Il Fornaccio in Arzua which was great. It was a long walk but I am sure the quality of the food was not just based on the depth of our hunger.

    Travel from Barcelona to Somport

    Thanks for the advice Paul. This is very helpful. I was wondering how to make it work to "start" at Somport and still have a place to stay as the hostels seem to be booked up. If the Albergue Elías Valiña Canfranc *Pueblo* is willing to take people for two nights that would be perfect. I would...

    Travel from Barcelona to Somport

    I am planning on hiking the Camino Aragones in early July 2024. I have booked a flight to Barcelona but am unsure of how to get to Somport. I have heard you can take a train to Jaca and then a bus but I can not tell if it stops in Somport and the schedules are not posted. Has anyone taken the...

    My Experience on the Aragones Camino: Quiet and Memorable

    I knew the Aragones Camino existed but I know little about it. I am hoping to walk the Frances starting in July and wanted to start on the French border. I am not too sure where to start as I am just starting my reseach. This post has some good info ... thank you.

    Policia and Pilgrims

    From our experience, they have always been great. I would never hesitate to ask for help if needed.

    Travel Buddy Wanted: Barcelona to SJDP on May 12, 2023

    We did this trip in the summer. Just as an FYI ... we could not make the bus connection so we shared a cab from Pamplona to SJPDP. It was 110 Euros. If I had to do it again I would spend the night in Pamplona and take the bus the next day. Maybe the schedule will change by the time you go. The...

    Pamplona to Saint Jean Pied de Port - June 29 2022

    My wife and I are arriving in Pamplona via Barcelona by train on June 29th around 1330 in the afternoon. We seem to be too late for a bus to SJPDP and are hoping to find a couple people willing to share a taxi. The ideal situation would be someone on the same Renfe train from Barcelona and who...

    Barcelona to SPJDP

    I was looking for the bus schedule and could not find it. I believe it is ALSA that we take but SJPDP does not seem to be listed. Tried a few variations of spelling. Any tips? I am likely missing the obvious.

    Barcelona to SPJDP

    We are flying into Barcelona in June 2022 and then trying to get to SJPDP in one day after a couple of days of sightseeing. Is it still reasonable to get to SJPDP in one day from Barcelona?
