    New Albergue in Canfranc

    Well, I hope they find some better paths up the Aspe Valley. When I walked this part of the way in poorly weather conditions I found that the trail rather dangerous , the more that I was alone and no other pilgrims were in sight. So I decided trying the narrow traffic road but this was in rainy...

    What would you skip on the Aragones?

    I had the same experience in wet May 2018, I tried to walk along the narrow road in heavy rain up to the Somport but it was very dangerous with all those heavy trucks...It was a relief to get to Canfranc, afterwards it went better.

    Last thoughts on the Aragonés

    I walked that route from Oloron on because of the highpoints you mentioned. I wanted to see Canfranc station because of the history during WW II and of course San Juan de Pena. Unfortunately I had bad weather and I did not like: the Frances can be overcrowded but this route is an exercise in...

    Phone necessary on Aragones? (also: single favorite moment?)

    At last one more pilgrim on the Aragones…;) Last year in May I walked also from Oloron til Puenta la Reina. Very rainy (watch out in the Val d'Aspe) and very lonely. What you should see , if possible, is Canfranc station also because of lots of history during WW II, Jaca, San Juan de la Pena but...

    Observations on the Aragones, May-June 2018

    I do agree with your comments. I walked last May from Oloron on in bad weather conditions trough the Valley of the Aspe. I was walking alone and , yes, it was dangerous for a solo walker at some spots. It was, as you said, a very lonely experience. There were many days I did not see a single...

    Anyone on the Aragonés?

    A few days ago I finished the Aragonese when arriving at Puente la Reina. I started in Oloron-Ste-Marie on the 14th of May. I found the "run up" to the Somport, through the narrow Aspe Valley, hard and due to bad weather conditions, permanent rain, muddy and slippery and by times dangerous for a...

    Canfranc Station News

    Interesting article! I will walk the Aragones in the second half of May this year. By the way what is the temperature in Aragon at that period?

    Questions on the Camino Aragones

    I am planning to walk the Camino Aragones next year (in May or June?) from Oloron St Marie til Puenta de la Reina. Now I have more or less an idea how to get from Brussels to Oloron by the TGV-train but how do I get back from Puenta de la Reina towards Brussels by train or by plane? Has someone...

    Camino Aragones will have a new pilgrim center

    Thank you for the info. I am relieved to know that this cultural heritage is saved.

    Camino Aragones will have a new pilgrim center

    But what will happen with Canfranc station? Is it a classified buiding like in France where many buidings are classified due to their architectural or cultural importance? If this buiding is not protected it will become another ruin.What a pity then!
