Hi, I'm planning to walk from Zaragoza to Longrono June 2017. I'm wondering in anyone has walked that section recently and have any thoughts, comments tips, about accommodation and the path in general. Many thanks.

There are excellent albergues at Torres de Bellerén and Gallur. Zaragoza is a great city. The path is generally fairly flat, not far from the river. If you like mudéjar architecture, you're in for a treat. I liked the two days between Tortosa and Gandesa more than the later sections, but I turned left onto the Camino Castellano-Aragonés at Gallur, so don't know about the section from there to Longroño.

Tudela is also a lovely city. I stayed there in a nice hostal, reasonably priced. Beautiful old centre.

Thanks Alan, i read some of your older posts. Was it you who only saw a few other people? Im going to be introducing some friends to the Camino and i cant decide between the very busy Logrono to Burgos or Zaragoza to Logrono. They only have about 10 days.

That's what im a bit worried about because im introducing some friends to the Camino and a large part of the joy for me is meeting all the other pilgrims.

Like Alan, I walked from Zaragoza to Gallur and then "turned left" and walked the Castellano-Aragonés. I didn't see any other pilgrims, and this was in June. If pilgrim company is what you want, I don't think this is for you. How about the Aragonés? You could start in France a few days back to add on days to make it to ten, or start in Somport and see how far you can get. There will be pilgrims but not a ton, and it is very pretty and has good Albergues. What month are you going to walk? Buen camino, Laurie.

Check out my diary for Pilgrimage V, which covers that route taken in May last year.
A beautiful camino!

Thanks Stephen, I had a look. Great photos! I think because it will be my friends first time I might take them on Camino Frances...so they get to experience meeting many other pilgrims.
