I can’t give an opinion on the hostel (I went posh and stayed in a pension 😁) in Larassona but the cafe/bar/store there is run by a wonderful and welcoming couple and has a great pilgrim feel as the afternoon and evening goes on with everyone mixing and meeting for that reason alone I would go...
I stayed in 2021 and it is still one of my most memorable experiences, the beds and facilities where magnificent and as much as I was not really a big fan of sharing my motivation for walking I found it very spiritual and made some great friendships that will remain with me…I cannot recommend it...
@tigermike a friend of mine once ran the entire mainland coast of the UK, a marathon a day, it took him almost a year…why did he do it…because he wanted to try 🤷🏼♂️ adventure sometimes lies in a mad cap idea which clearly until the point of stopping brought you great pleasure. I still applaud...
541km in 12 days and he calls that failed 🤦🏼♂️ as someone who has “paused” a camino before (shin splints) I know the next few days will be mentally difficult but you have invigorated and enthused many on here with your exploit, I personally loved checking to see how you were doing so as us...
The Camino remains and eventually the journey continues…rest and heal perigrino the Way awaits your return but I salute what you did achieve 👍 buen camino mi amigo
Thanks for the update, I’m fairly confident I’m not the only random stranger who was starting to worry that we hadn’t heard from him but he’s clearly in the zone now, best of luck to him 👍
When preparing to do the CF I had it in my mind that you “must” do SJPdP to SdC in one go, then covid came along and logistics changed so I went back and did my second attempt from where I stopped previously but injury ended that one early and I will go back and carry on from where I stopped...
Auberge Borda is a hostel just beyond Orrison I stayed here in September and it was fantastic a relatively new hostel hosted by Laurent great meal with fab accommodation it can be reserved via booking.com

I split my day last year and must say it was the best decision I made I was able to take my time and soak up the views a leisurely lunch at Orrison and a chance to enjoy the company of fellow pilgrims and then the short walk on to Auberge Borda which I cannot recommend enough. Laurent the host...
My view below comes with a caveat, it is my view/opinion and in no way detracts from anyone else’s truth/opinion as they hold it so don’t be offended 👍
When I first started planning I was sure of three “facts” the Camino starts in SJPdP, the Frances IS the real Camino and you haven’t completed...
I started in SJPdP because it was the easiest point to get to by train from Glasgow to start the Frances 🤷🏼♂️ But I totally agree your Camino starts wherever you want 👍 buen camino
Thanks for your replies yes I looked at the possibility of the starting to walk shorter stages or less popular stopping points (staying an extra night in Pamplona wasn’t an option at £60 a night) it seemed to me in checking the web that pilgrims were travelling in waves and I seemed to be caught...
