We put up
Our hammocks on the location and approached them in the morning. No other details were noted… this was le puy to Santiago … so just one of many...
An absolute highlight for us!

Guys I’m in need of some advice… I’m booked in Aroure, and Saint Palais with a reserved accommodation in Saint Jean the night we leave Saint Palais and a domino effect of reservations onward ( reserving is new to me). I’ll admit I’m panicking some with an almost 40 km day from Saint Palais to...
