    Bus from Jaca to San Juan de la Pena Info

    Hi Laurie, and thanks for all your sensible advice on the Camino Aragonés (as well as so many other routes). The taxi company took us up, and returned for us at an agreed time--two round-trips for them to the old monastery. We walked across to the 'new' monastery, exhibition and coffee shop. I...

    Looking for input on difficulty, stages and your collective wisdom!

    I wrote a summary of my Camino Aragonés (spring 2019) in the Camino Society Ireland e-magazine Shamrocks and Shells. If you google that, you may find it--I imagine it was in the summer edition, perhaps autumn--sorry to be vague. The rockiness of many of the paths may be an issue for your joints...

    Bus from Jaca to San Juan de la Pena Info

    I believe the bus is available during 'the high season' only, and that was not toward the end of April 2019, when I visited the bus station and Jaca tourism office. I and three other pilgrims availed of the Taxi Sinel service, which was very helpful--€60 return trip for four of us, i.e. €15...

    San Juan de la Pena

    When I asked that sort of question three weeks ago, Vacajoe suggested that I might well be able to hitch a lift up or down with motorised tourists, once I started to go up to the Monastery. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do my short camino at this time--so I'm hoping for success in the autumn. I...

    LIVE from the Camino YESA on the Aragones variant

    VacaJoe--So, the snow has eased at San Juan de la Pena for me!! That's great. I head out tomorrow and am also thinking of taking the northern route across from Artieda (is that where you crossed over the Aragon?) Keep the info coming, and thats for the photos--I too intend to visit Javier and go...

    San Juan de la Pena

    Thanks, Annie. Opinions seem to vary on that walk DOWN, and I don't want to chance it with my 78yr knees (which have been remarkably sound until now!) Pinguingrino has also advised me, so I'll hopefully find a fairly easy solution. I didn't have the courage to arrange it with my Oregon relatives...

    San Juan de la Pena

    Yes, I'm hoping to get a bus as Albertagirl did, and will certainly visit the Turismo office first, before trying a taxi. The Office was not able to advise me earlier, by email. Thanks, all.

    San Juan de la Pena

    I'm hoping to visit the San Juan de la Pena monastery this time (my second Camino Aragonés). In the unlikely event that another Forum member might like to join me in a taxi--I'm not about to ascend or descend walking on my ancient knees), please pm me. I hope to be in Jaca on Friday 20 April or...
