Sorry for all the typos on the last reply - if anyone is thinking big walking the Catalan soon please message me and I can give you all the research I did and info from the different associations as Peregrina2000 added the Amics have a great list of resources for that section but it is...
Unfortunately since Covid there’s no places open in Ena, Sarsamacuella, or bolea - from Huesca all the way to the Aragones there are very few options now and you will need to sleep out at least 1 night maybe 2 depending on far you can walk
I emailed and called every association and town...
I didn’t see the panaderia but there’s a restaurant called Carmen’s I think - she was very friendly and we had a great meal and many drinks - she let us hang out for quite awhile - they have paper table cloths and we filled ours playing hangman and drinking wine 🍷
Haha - that’s exactly the spot and so lucky we had a roof at least as there was an epic thunderstorm that night!
You know the fact that it was challenging also made it very special, interesting and engaging - I enjoyed the logistical puzzle just not the no coffee or food part 😂 But then to...
Hello - it’s raining hard here on the west coast of BC and it’s great to go back through the pictures to answer your questions :)
That’s a very funny quote and could apply to a few spots 😂 I think it was closed and we stayed in the tourist apartment in Linyola - they were very nice! No...

Thank you so much - it was a fantastic journey - I swam in the Mediterranean and finished swimming in the Atlantic - carried my pack every day and never took any form of modern conveyance - no vehicles, no trains, not even an elevator - climbed every set of stairs :) I was very happy at the end...
I think it was the GR96 the whole way up from the bottom - I’ve attached pics from the trailhead - the GR96 is the steeper option I think and yes was a very tough end to the day - I don’t believe any part of me was dry :)
The Catalan and the inveirno have much tougher stages than the primitivo...
We walked from the beach in Barceloneta through the city and up through San cugat to Terrassa - we stayed at an Airbnb run by Anna and Barto who are the nicest people you could meet - I highly recommend this option - they made us dinner and she got up to make us breakfast and a packed lunch -...
Wow - thank you for remembering :) I finished on Nov 1 - 53 days
We walked from Barcelona to Montserrat - then the Catalan through Huesca to the Aragones - I then walked the Francis to Ponferrada and took the Inveirno to Santiago - then finally Finistere and the Atlantic!
My father left in...
Hello - I will for sure post a more detailed update soon with accommodations etc… looks like we are camping the next 1-2 nights due to no accommodations but I will keep you posted - we are in Bolea right now!
Hello - my father and I started in Barcelona on September 10 - wd are now in Monzon heading towards the Aragonese and ultimately to Muxia!

Other than that no one - empty - so far no problem finding...
