Any thoughts please about the best part of CdF to walk for 5 days please? I'm brining a friend (in his 50's) over and want him to have the best time, and be inspired.
We are arriving in Biarritz on Friday 16th November. so has to be starting probably either SJPdP, Pamplona or Logroño.
My original plan at this stage is to go to SJPdP and walk the Valcarlos route, and try to make it at least to Pamplona. But I'm really open to other ideas.
My main thoughts that I'd like your advice with please:
- What is the Valcarlos option like? What is the albergue at Valcarlos like?
- I thought of starting in St Jean to get a real sense of the journey which so many people make. However, is it likely to be better starting from Pamplona - more guaranteed warmth and sun?
- Which would be more scenic and enjoyable: starting in SJPdP, Pamplona, or somewhere else?
- I've not walked in November, what is weather likely to be like?
- Does anyone know the bus / train times from Bayonne to SJPdP?
Many thanks, P
