Unbelievable traffic jam in downtown Canfranc! Pilgrims should be aware that transit through the village may be delayed at times…

Remember that if you are going to merge into traffic there must be no hesitation. Commit and keep moving.

Nice video! I got stuck in a jam at the pilgrim's bridge last year waiting for about half an hour for 1,700 of them to pass.. mesmerising to watch!!

Small flock of 700 today?!!

Just came back a few weeks ago. Was beautiful, but very solitary.

I heard that the race for a bed can be stressful; but this is on a whole new level!!!

Sure, but you’ll stay very very warm with those guys as your bedmates!

I started counting the sheep, but fell asleep about half-way through.

Yes, there is "evidence" all along this Camino. We used to live in Idaho where there are a lot of Basque immigrants and their families. Something similar happens in the posh Sun Valley resort area,, but they have turned it into a festival there!
