    Should I stay 2 nights in sjpdp ?

    Brooklyn; I'm with billmc on staying in Bayonne for one night after NY, Madrid and Bilbao; you'll be knackered.

    new idea: Irun to Saint Jean

    Yes, Don, the Basque people have an incredible history which I have come to know through my research hobby concerning the escape lines to which I referred in my post. I will track down the books you noted to further my education, thank you. At the risk of hi-jacking "Kiwi's" thread, through my...

    new idea: Irun to Saint Jean

    Not well known events in history, circa WW2, are related to the Baztan Route that may be of interest to some walkers. During the period 1941-1944, several hundred Allied aviators who had been "downed" over occupied Europe successfully crossed the Pyrenees to reach relative safety in "neutral"...
