    Albergues in Ages

    Stayed at the municipal there last October. I'm pretty sure they had the disposable linens. It's upstairs over a bar and had a great time conversing with the locals. Make sure you walk up and see the church.

    Pau to Obanos in October

    I did this route in late September last year. No problem with gites/albergues being open, and did not need to call ahead. If I remember correctly, the monastery in Sarrance opened at 3 pm and the gite in Urdos opened at 4 pm.

    Booking albergues or not

    I remember the surprised look on one person's face at the municipal in Estella when she was informed that no, she did not have a reservation because the albergue did not take reservations. Apparently she had used a pack service and assumed that if her pack were delivered there then she had a...

    Albergues advice Leon onwards

    I came through León 2 days ago and was told that Saturday was the last day the albuergue in Bergen del Camino was to be open. I took the alternative route out of Virgen del Camino and stayed at a very nice albergue in Villavante, which was 31.6k from the León and about 4k from Hospital.

    2016 September/October Peregrinos Departures

    Yes, my 1st Camino and a bit apprehensive, but when I first started looking seriously at this trip I wanted to include Lourdes and have just felt that the Aragones would be the best fit for me. The main reason to take the train to Oloron St Marie and start from there will be to save the 3 days...

    2016 September/October Peregrinos Departures

    Starting from either Lourdes or Oloron St Marie around Sept 22. Plan on taking the Aragones to Puente de la Reina and then CF.

    How do you choose the route for your first Camino?

    This is an interesting thread. I plan on staring my 1st camino in late Sept., and hope to first visit Lourdes. My tentative route is the Aragones then catching the Frances. If it turns out the Frances is not to my liking, there are the Invierno an Salvador/Primitivo options.

    Comparing Brierley and yellow German guide now in English

    You should be able to get from the "books" section on your Kindle. I'm sure that's how I ordered the book. Then you can download to a phone as well.

    Pamplona from Aragones

    Thank you both for the replies, particularly the bus schedule. Is it necessary to call and reserve beds at the gites in France?

    Pamplona from Aragones

    I am planning my Camino for Oct of 2016 and hope to start from Lourdes, connecting to the Aragones. After arriving at Obanos/Puente de la Reina I'm considering either a) taking a bus to Pamplona or b) trekking up to Alto del Perdon and returning. Any advice/comments on this plan? Thanks.
