Absolutely! There are so many routes... very connected with the Camino, we have The Route of Holy Grail visiting several locations in the Jacetania county.
Completely agree @jsalt... but if the Aragonese Way is already solitary, the COVID has made everything much more complicated... look at the statistics: just 229 pilgrims.
Yes exactly... I think they close at 14:00 (info in Spanish). There are a lot information in the interpretation center of the monastery about the Kingdom of Aragon but if I had to choose, without a doubt, the old monastery. I shot some spherical photos and the truth is that the atmosphere and...
Yes, you're right: the track is from Jaca to San Juan de la Peña through Atarés and return to the Camino through Santa Cruz de la Serós. It's an extra stage in the Camino Aragonés and in common with Camino Catalán.
It's a route that people who spend time in Jaca usually do even in summer...
Canfranc-Estación is just amazing. I can't wait for the entire station environment to be finished and ready to start up again. The first time I did the Camino Aragonés, I arrived late to Somport and stopped to sleep here. Lucky me!!

I think you are going to love this alternative. In the link, you can have a quick overview (stages, the starting point, ...). Here you have my post about the first stage (Somport to Jaca) and one video in YouTube.
This is also the official info from the local agency.
Thank you!
Just a little reminder about the Camino Aragonés (or French through Aragón) with one of main ancient Christendom hospitals: Santa Cristina.
Amazing alternative to the most crowded one.
ultreia!
