    Saint Jean Pied de Port to Roncesvalles in two days

    Hi Charles, I have to agree with John Finn. I did St Jean to Roncesvalles in 1 day back in 2013. Fabulous day walking but towards the end it was a little tough on the legs especially the downhill section in the afternoon towards the end of this section. Walking poles were invaluable here. But...

    Biarritz - SJdP

    Hi Paul, I have to agree with MTtoCamino. EXPRESS BOURRICOT were absolutely brilliant! From door to door Biarritz to SJPP. It was seemless and no worries at all. Time to sit back and relax settle in and take in the scenery. Your 1st climb out of SJPP will take all your energy so great to chill...
