    Oloron-Sainte-Marie to Jaca (not quite live from the camino )

    Day 4: Canfrac Estacion to Jaca (Fri 19th) I took the bus because I understand the pilgrim bridge is not in use. I was supposed to get off at Canfranc but not paying attention so it was Villanua. Much warmer than yesterday but not as hot as in Pau the previous Sunday at 30°C! The camino ran...

    Stages from Oloron-Sainte-Marie

    If it's helpful, this was my post for the day from Jaca - San Juan de la Peña - Santa Cruz - Santa Cilia last September which includes the transport information for the employee bus from Jaca to San Juan. I checked in with the tourist office to confirm the bus was running and they phoned the...

    Stages from Oloron-Sainte-Marie

    I strongly agree with both Dick and Laurie. As I just mentioned in an earlier post, I watched a video before my first Aragones by I think it was "Nadine Walks". She can walk long distances and she said that the way up to the monastery was really tough and you had to be really careful. She didn't...

    Stages from Oloron-Sainte-Marie

    I think that even if you aren’t going to spend much time in San Juan de la Peña, some forum members have commented that the route from Jaca to San Juan is not a good one. See this thread. The commentary on this wikiloc track (from 2022) agrees with that assessment. Gronze says: (my...

    Stages from Oloron-Sainte-Marie

    The climb up the hill to San Juan de la Pena is a challenge. There was no availability of taxis or buses when I went there in 2017. To enter the place you needed to go to the information center at the top of the hill and take a guided tour bus back down to gain entry. I would definitely find...

    Stages from Oloron-Sainte-Marie

    Try this, which is pretty much what we did (except we didn't go to Lumbier). Just a few variations on your plan, but breaks up the longer stages: OSM - Sarrance - 23 Sarrance - Accous - 12 Accous- Urdos - 15 (as I mentioned elsewhere, with all the ongoing road construction, you might be...

    Long distances between services on the Aragones

    Hi We walked the Aragones in June '23. From Somport, walked to CanFranc Pueblo, then to Jaca. From Jaca took a bus to the Junction which goes to Santa Cruz. Its a short walk to the town of Santa Cruz where we spent the night and walked up to San Juan de Peña the day we arrived and back down...

    Making my way from Barcelona to Oloron-Sainte-Marie

    I would also recommend a stop in Jaca. Barcelona (and Montserrat) and Zaragosa were unforgettable stops when we walked the Camino del Ebro. Jaca and nearby San Juan de la Pena were unforgettable on the Camino Aragones. Oloron was a pleasure because we were starving after a long walk on the...

    How best to get to Oloron-Sainte-Marie or??

    the suitcase is definitely a complication. Have you thought about shipping it straight from home to Santiago? Literally shipping i.e. non air mail. If they still do that it is slow but cheap. Oloron Saints Marie is a biggish town (with a very nice albergue) so good transport connections...

    Aragones / Invierno advice, please

    Have worked at both the albergue in Canfranc Pueblo 2022 (just a few km from Canfranc Estacion) and Arres 2023. Walked from Canfranc Estacion to Artieda in 2022. A lovely quiet route with lots of history so make time to enjoy that if you can. We had side trips to the monasteries in San Juan de...

    Camino Aragones

    There is also a Wise Pilgrim app for the Aragonese. I didn't use any camino apps myself; I got by with the Gronze website and the Wikiloc app to get and follow GPS tracks. Not far off the Aragonese on the Camino Catalan are the monasteries of San Juan de la Peña. Check these out now because...

    My route so far…Aragonés from Oloron 13th oct 23

    Like others, brings back memories. We started in Sept in Lourdes. We were the only pellerin until we reached Oloron. From then on, we had a delightful non-group, for want of a better term, of 9 of us who walked separately but ended up each night at the same place for a communal meal. We bonded...

    Hiya - can’t remember who but someone asked for my movements so far so thought I would try and share best I could… let me know if there are other things that would be useful to know… it is still fresh ish in the mind! Worth mentioning I am travelling alone and almost every night have been the...

    LIVE from the Camino Caryn on the Aragonés

    Wow! There were quite a few complaints about Santa Cilia from pilgrims when we served last summer at Arres. Several said it was dirty and that the hospitalera didn't even come to stamp their credentials and she was more concerned with running the bar. Glad you met the other city official and she...

    LIVE from the Camino Caryn on the Aragonés

    Day 3 (Fri Sept 1) Jaca to Monasterio San Juan de la Peña then Santa Cilia then, surprise! Arrés. Un día épico! I took the 9:20am White Bus with the San Juan de la Peña logo on the side, from the Jaca bus station along with 2 other peregrinas (Cynthia and Lin) who I had met in Canfranc. This...

    LIVE from the Camino Camino Aragonés - April 2023

    I also was surprised by the attitude of the staff there. It’s too far for some of us to manage to walk in one day. There was a Frenchman who started to walk the path from Jaca to San Juan de la Pena, but he abandonned that attempt because of the pathway and turned around, ending at Santa Celia...

    Visit San Juan de la Pena 2 nights in albergue?

    We will be walking back towards France so we may do similar with one night in each, but in reverse. Good to have the option of two nights in Jaca albergue - we’ll decide when the time comes 😎

    Visit San Juan de la Pena 2 nights in albergue?

    We were offered a 2 night stay at the Albergue at Jaca. However, we chose to take the bus to San Juan de la Peña and then walked on to Santa Cilia.
