My friends and I will start the camino Aragonés from Jaca in late March. If we fly to Madrid, what is best way to get to Jaca -bus or train and from which station? Or should we make our way from Barcelona?

Hi Annie, i'm also planning on walking the Aragones next April. Does the bus from Pamplona go all the way to Somport Pass? Judy.
Well, since I'm giving lots of unsolicited advice, have you thought about walking from Leon to Oviedo on the Salvador? It is amazing! There might or might not still be snow there if it's late April or early May but you could always bail to the bus if you couldn't get over the pass at Pajares. Lots of info here on the forum, including links to a guide by Rebekah and the English translation of a guide by the Salvador Camino Angel, Ender. Buen camino, LaurieThanks Laurie and Anna for the info. I am planning to walk the Aragones next April and i wasn't sure which city i would fly into but with the info you have given me i will now fly into Madrid and make my way to Somport Pass to start my walk. I'm then planning to continue along the Frances to Leon and then taking a bus to Oviedo and walk the Primitivo.
Buen Camino Judy.
Yes i had thought about walking the Salvador as well but if my calculations are right i will be already walking about 1100 kms and at 64 am i taking on to much. .
Hi Laurie, I don't mind unsolicited advice, all advice is very welcome. Yes i had thought about walking the Salvador as well but if my calculations are right i will be already walking about 1100 kms and at 64 am i taking on to much. My thoughts are if i'm flying from OZ i might as well do as much as i can. Each time i prepare for another walk i say to my husband this will be my last one and then like a lot of other pilgrims as soon as i arrive home i start planning the next one. I didn't even make it home last year before my thoughts were on my next Camino. Thanks Laurie Buen Camino Judy.
Hi Marjude, my friend and I took the train from Barcelona to Zaragoza then walked upstairs to the bus station and caught bus to Jaca.From there bus to Somport arriving at 3ish we then walked down to Canfranc Estacion to spend the night.
This shortened the next days walk.
I too am thinking of the Salvador and Primitivo next April but have recently been discouraged by a younger friend saying that she thought it was too hard for me on my own. Of course she walked in very hot August.
Decisions!!
