Can you recommend hostels in St. Jean Pied? I was looking at Gite Makila but it is booked for my first night, which is a shame but will check again later. I have never needed to book ahead doing the Portugues and Primitivo but understand the Frances is more popular, and see on the forum people...
Thanks guys, the Primitivo is calling me, although the Del Norte does look beautiful that shall be 2020 walk. Now just to decide which part. mmm...

Hi, I did the last 10km of Camino Portugues this year and am looking to do a part of the Frances next year. I like the idea that I could design a route to do the main part walking but also take train and do cycling some parts. I was interested in the 2nd and 3rd parts; Pamplona to Logrono and...
