    Bus from Jaca to San Juan de la Pena Info

    I caught the bus back in September 2016. I can't tell you the bus company. But I am pretty sure it left around 9 from the bus station in Jaca. It is the same bus station I came in from Zaragoza and also left on a bus up to Somport in the afternoon. The bus went up to the new monastery, dropped...

    LIVE from the Camino Camino Aragonés, September 2018

    The trail runs along the right side of the gorge. It was wide enough for a train to travel along.

    My Camino Aragones 7/2018

    I walked the end of September 2015 - Izco was open then. The hospitalero was in and out. It ended up completo with some people sleeping on mattresses on the dining room floor. There was alcohol available as well as tins of food to buy.

    San Juan de la Pena

    Check to see if the bus is running up to the monastery. I think when I caught it it left Jaca around 9 am (late September). It also came down later in the day. The walk down the track was pretty terrible.

    I caught a bus to Jaca from Zaragosa in late September 2015. The bus left from the train ststion at 1100 and I bought my ticket at the station after arriving on a train from Madrid. My notes say it took about 2.5 hours to get to Jaca. I later caught the bus up to Somport leaving around 1445...

    Beginner looking for advice!

    I flew into Madrid then caught the train to Zaragoza and a bus to Jaca. Late in the afternoon there was a bus to Somport from Jaca. Check to see if the bus up to Somport is running when you plan to be there.

    Our Camino Aragonés -- June 2015

    I was at Canfranc Estación on 25th September. There was a celebration that night where there were a few speeches then lights and images were played all over the station. The moon came up over the mountains behind the station near the end of the light show. Magic.

    Camino Aragonés -- June 2015 -- Where are the pilgrims?

    I'm on the Frances now after having come off the Aragones a bit over a week ago. The Aragones was wonderful. I walked some parts by myself but there were at 9-10 each night in the albergues.

    Camino Aragones in September 2015 from Somport

    Bernice, If the Frances is too much you can always bus it - when I walked in October 2013 the Frances wasn't too bad and the walk out to Fisterra was almost empty (but very wet). For the Aragones I have the Confraternity of Saint James pilgrim guide (www.csj.org.uk) for Arles to Puente la...
