Hi, I just started the Aragones and would like to visit the monastery SanJuan de la Pena and do not want to hike to and from there.
But when I take a bus from Jaca and back in the Evening I would need to stay a second night in the albergue, which is not possible as far as I know. How to solve...
I went to the last meeting of the Associació d’Amics dels Pelegrins a Santiago - Barcelona
(Barcelona Association of Friends of the Pilgrims to Santiago). They meet every Wednesday at 8pm at Calle Rector Triadó, 53 in building called Casinet Hostafrancs (close to Sants Railway Station). I had a...
Others have mentioned that there is a bus from Jaca to SanJuan de la Pena. I believe someone said it leaves Jaca at 9:30 am. It does not appear to be ALSA and Google is not coming up with the bus info. Can anyone post additional info about this bus -- What is the bus Co. name? Where do you...
Has anyone walked the stretch of Camino beginning in Montserrant towards Huesca and on to the Aragonese camino at Saint Cilla and SanJuan de la Pena? I've found some info from 8/10 years ago but I'm looking for any updates about Albergues, distances and how many days it might take. I'm thinking...
Weather in Spain is truly insane right now, but we thought we’d be safe avoiding the worst of it by starting in Jaca just south of the Pyrenees... GUESS AGAIN!!!
We are literally snowed in at the hotel at the SanJuan de la Pena monastery and it’s only guest (in that gigantic hotel!). The...
I'm hoping to visit the SanJuan de la Pena monastery this time (my second Camino Aragonés). In the unlikely event that another Forum member might like to join me in a taxi--I'm not about to ascend or descend walking on my ancient knees), please pm me. I hope to be in Jaca on Friday 20 April or...
Gronze makes this path seem doable, while posts in 2016 suggest it's nearly abandoned/lost. We are staying at the monastery hotel, so this side route would be perfect if it's still accessible. Anyone try it in 2017? Can you get from Atares to the monastery without going through Santa Cruz?

Is there pilgrim accomodation at/near SanJuan de la Pena? - Google maps show a refugio across the road from Monasterio Alto, but I cannot find any references to it.
Does anyone know the walking distance between SanJuan de la Pena monastery and Santa Cilia? Is it easy to find your way from the monastery to Santa Celia?
Thanks in advance! Burn Camino!
I know there are several variants to this route, but a Spanish friend on another forum is going to walk from Montserrat to join the Camino Aragones at the Monastery of SanJuan de la Pena. This is sort of a C-shaped camino, from Montserrat west to Huesca and then up north and east to SanJuan...
I don't know if this has been posted but there is a bus that leaves from Jaca bus station at 9:30 am and takes you to SanJuanPena Monastery. The 14 euro fare includes your entrance fee to both the new and old monasteries. Both are exquisite. From there you can walk the road to Santa Celia or...
Hi all!
New here, and I've already got a question. Tried to search this forum and everywhere, and got answers I do not like.
Starting at the end of March from Barcelona to Santiago with a old bicycle. Now, I have learned that the marked route from Est. de Sta Maria y la Peña to SanJuan de la...
