    LIVE from the Camino Oloron-Sainte-Marie to Santiago

    Broccoli and cauliflower soup, spinach casserole (vegetarian option), white/dark chocolate mousse and the usual bread and wine. On average for the Camino it may be 3-5€ higher but, it was above average in quality, so, 😎

    LIVE from the Camino Oloron-Sainte-Marie to Santiago

    We’re now in San Juan de Ortega, next stop is Burgos and an extra days rest. The very warm days of last week have given way to quite cool days this week and even cooler days next week. The Camino is busy but until today, finding a bed had not been a problem. We’d planned on walking to Agés or...

    Stages from Oloron-Sainte-Marie

    If I confused the stream, I apologize. And I agree, being a hospitalero/a must be a challenge.

    Stages from Oloron-Sainte-Marie

    We were there 10 days ago, 6 Pilgrims total and very chill. Sorry if your experience was different, Arrés for us was a highlight.

    Stages from Oloron-Sainte-Marie

    We enjoyed the Foz immensely. It was cultural shock when we hit Puente la Reina.

    Thank you for the tip, so far it’s not too crazy, we’re ahead of the big surge in May.

    What a difference a couple days make. The moment we arrived in Puente La Reina our small band of Aragónes Pilgrims was swallowed up by the CF. We’re in Navarette today, skipping the usual stages. We’ve had no problems finding a bed so far. Viana on a Saturday was quite lively but don’t expect...

    Finishing my Camino and feeling incomplete.

    I told a friend who joined us in Sarria after we’d walked from SJPP when he had similar feelings that he felt incomplete because he’d finished but he hadn’t begun. Begun what is up to each of us. So, as many have already said, it’s a common feeling. Continue to ask yourself why you feel that...

    Enjoy your trip, I believe the Aragónes is about tolerance and flexibility…maybe life too. The pilgrims we met up there are still with us. Extra water and food! Say hello to Jaquelina in Arrés.

    Aragónes wrap-up, Sangüesa-Monreal-Puente la Reina So, the Aragónes, IMHO, is not for everyone. It has its beauty and it’s at times desperately boring. For some, it could be a bit to very challenging, especially the long stages with no support between stages. There are some notable climbs...

    US International Phone plan or Spanish SIM card while on the Camino?

    Holafly eSIM update. I’ve now been using Holafly for 10 days in France an rural Spain. I’ve had good tele signal almost everywhere ranging from 3G (didn’t know it was still used), LTE, 4G and most of the time, 5G. The few calls have connected easily and WhatsApp works great. At this point, I...

    Ruesta - Sangüesa Leaving Ruesta, you have a brief downhill before you begin a sustained uphill, took us over an hour, maybe an hour and a half. Not super steep just long, similar to above Orrison for those who started in St Jean. Coming down the town of Undúes de Lerda is next, beware that...

    Arrés - Ruesta Hum, don’t know my impression of this stage, it’s long and there’s a lot of road walking and other than the last 2-3k, not really picturesque. My opinion may be tempered by my aching knee but I don’t think so…much. Very limited service's, Artieda offers food/drink but can be...

    With the construction, signage was difficult. We took the road.

    LIVE from the Camino Oloron-Sainte-Marie to Santiago

    Jaca - Arrés The way out of Jaca is pleasant and mostly flat, some road walking but mostly on a path near the road. As you approach Sta. Cilia, there are wet parts but nothing like we’d seen days before. The first break opportunity is Sta. Cilia, you have to walk into town to find a bar, did...

    Thanks, we may consider that, good info.

    Villanúa - Jaca Short day today which was good, my Camino limp has made its first appearance. I’m glad we didn’t go all the way in to Jaca yesterday, the uninspiring walk today would have taken away from the great walk into Villanúa. While you walk along the Ebro today, there’s industrial...

    Yes, that was a day. Beautiful but happy it’s behind me.

    LIVE from the Camino Oloron-Sainte-Marie to Santiago

    Observations, OSM-Somport Based on conditions in early April 24 1. Route is well marked, mostly red/white GR. 2. Far fewer services than you may be used to compared to the CF. 3. We found very few pilgrims accommodations open. 4. Prices were a bit higher than in Spain, food was generally...

    We really enjoyed the path from Canfranc Pueblo to Villanúa.
