    Snow and Somport

    Hi Senyor Pirotechnic, I wish I could forecast the weather for April, it would make planning the camino so much easier... :? I walked from Somport last year, end of March, and I had a really nice sunny day all the way to Jaca. The path was more or less dry, no mud, but I walked the first few...

    Which track is the best alternative from Sangüesa to Monreal

    I was laying on my back, just amazed by vultures circling above me, until I thought that they might see me in this position and think that I'm their lunch... :D When you leave Sanguesa, you have to follow the main road for a few kilometres, past the Camino sign which would bring you to...

    Yes, snakes, on the way down from Somport. I guess they enjoyed the nice spring sun as much as I did. But you have to be careful not to step on them, and also they were a little bit aggressive... And yes, you will need a sleeping bag, though most albergues had blankets as well. And yes, planning...

    Which track is the best alternative from Sangüesa to Monreal

    Hi Gerd, I've done this stretch a few weeks ago; if you follow the signs (yellow arrows), you will end up walking via Rocaforte. But if you follow the main road until Liedena, you can walk along an old railroad track through the Foz de Lumbier, and past the Puente del Diablo (at the entrance to...

    oh, and Gerd and all the others thinking about flying to Pau; the Ryanair flight might look cheap, but there is no public transport at the airport, and the only way to get to Pau station was by taxi (€30). The train from Pau to Oloron was €16, and the bus to Canfranc was €8.90.

    camino aragones in March 09

    I´m now in Valladolid, waiting for my flight back. Just a few comments: I took the bus from Oloron to Somport; the pass was still closed, but I was really lucky and the nice French busdriver drove me up there from Canfranc! The albergue in Canfranc Estacion (Pepito Grillo) was closed on that...

    camino aragones in March 09

    I´m in Viana now; the Camino Aragones was incredible, a great experience! I´m still trying to adjust to the reality of the Camino Frances now, suddenly lots of other pilgrims... I have one more week to go, hope to get until Fromista before I have to catch the flight back home. Will post a...

    Hi Sil, No, I don't do blogs, don't know how to do it :-( But I will post here on the forum a little report, as I did when I did the Ingles.

    camino aragones in March 09

    I hope you are jealous, that's what I was in the last 2 years looking at your posts and reading about your Caminos! :D I was a little bit surprised about my backpack as well, but I guess my last 3 Caminos helped me in optimizing it. It's funny, but each item has it's designated space and...

    camino aragones in March 09

    Thanks so much for all your comments! I just booked the flight to Pau for 26 March. I'm not too worried about the snow (and bears and Germans...), I know when to take risks and when to jump onto a bus. I will let you know how I got on, and hopefully I will meet some people from this forum! Rolf

    thank you All for your replies, I will definitely go to San Juan de la Pena, the pictures are just amazing! does anyone know anything about the bus from Oloron to Somport? I read something about a new tunnel (opened in 2002), and that the bus doesn't stop anymore at the start of the Camino...

    camino aragones in March 09

    Hi All, I just started organizing my next Camino; I intend to fly to Pau at the end of March 09, get the bus to Somport, walk the Camino Aragones, and continue on the Frances (Semana Santa in Rioja :D ). Does anyone have any recent albergue experiences on the Aragones? and I read somewhere...
