I was there just two weeks ago - I can’t do too great distances, and because the Izco albergue is permanently closed - I did Undues de Lerda to Sanguesa via Castello de Javier, then to Lumbier (only hotel accomodation there) and then Lumbier to Monreal (we did it without wifi, so a little hard...
In the 'bigger' regular towns , probably yes - and that's good to remember, because I only pre-booked certain places, while trusting to get a bed in albergues or similar in the rest. Yet I won't be up for 30 km stretches as I did last time. I doubt whether there is anything else between Sanguesa...

If there is the will, there must be a way. I'll have to get there one way or the other. Unfortunately, my visiting day turns out to be a Sunday so that may make public transport even more tricky, I suppose.
I've been trying to work out a similar problem, and cannot get my head around it. I know the walking detour via San Juan de la Pena is beyond my abilities at this stage in life - but would really like to go to the monastery on my second Arrogones this year (I missed it the first time).
