Camino de Santiago is a Grand Social Experiment

I don't want to make this sound like some kind of Marxist plot. Whether the intentions there were benevolent or malevolent, it all went horribly wrong. So the phrase 'social experiment' engenders immediate wariness. But now we have a new--and yes, more constructive type of social experiment...

How to get from the Le Puy Route to the Northern Route at Ir

We are walking from Le Puy southwards. We then want to get on the Camino del Norte. Does anybody know the best way to get to Irun from the Le Puy route. Are there buses from St. Jean Pied de Port? Or is there an intersection where we can leave the Le Puy route and turn west to get to Irun...

From Appalachian Trail to El Camino de Santiago
