camino aragones!

[vitaminporter]

Hello,

I am looking for anyone who has walked from Oloron-Ste.-Marie to meet up with the Camino Frances in Puente la Reina. I am coming to France next month and would like more information on this route, as well as to talk with anyone who might be planning such a walk. Bueno camino, VP.

Piemont route or Aragones

Hello VP.
There are two ways of walking from Oloron - along the Piemont route which goes to St Jean Pied de Port:

Or, you can take the route that goes from Oloron through Somport and Jaca. (If you can spare 2 more days you could start at Lourdes.)

(Scroll down to page 22 for maps from Oloron)

From Oloron:
Oloron Sarrance 22
Sarrance Borce 22
Borce Somport 18

On Somport to Puente la Reina you'll find a lot of info on daily stages, relief maps, refuges etc at

http://www.munidcamino.com.
You can even order your compostela from them ahead of time.

There is also info here:

Have a great walk!

Piemont/Aragones routes

I think - being based in France - that most of those websites are in French.

These have an English link:

For other maps leading to Somport you could check on the Via Tolosana website as well. (Toulouse to Puente La Reina)

And if you want to try many more links visit Peter's site at:

Good luck!

Camino Aragonés

Hola vitaminporter,
Sil is a great help to us all. Thanks Sil.
I will be starting from Somport about 25th April. Flying into Pau on 23rd.
I will have two friends with me for the first 9 days or so and then hope to go on alone. Would love to make contact with you.

I know this area of Aragón well as my husband comes from near Puenta la Reina de Jaca.

If I can help do contact me,
Eleanor
