Hi, I just trying to plot my overnight stays while I do the .Cami de Sant Jaume route. When I leave Bujaraloz the list of accommodation I have does not list a place I can stay until I reach the town of Pina de Ebro which is distance of 37km. I would not be able to walk this far in one day. Does anyone know of a hostal or Albergue in either El Ciervo or Venta de Santa Lucia I could stay? My list did mention Hostal El Ciervo, but it has been crossed out so I guess it has closed down.
Gronze has 37,9km:I have just checked goggle maps & the distance from Bujaraloz to Pina de Ebro is only 20.4km. My list I got from Montserrat says it is 37km. Someone else's blog I am referencing also mentions this distance as 34km. Can someone please confirm what the correct distance is for me as I am very confused.
Okay thanks for that information Buen. I guess I will have a get a lift at some point then as I will have no choice. Seems a shame as I feel like I am cheating by catching a ride, but I just would not be able to walk that far, 30km is my absolute limit.Gronze has 37,9km:

It's true that GoogleMaps shows 20,4km but that's on the N-II and the Camino obviously doesn't stick to it but runs left of it most of the way.
It looks like there's no intermediate overnight stay but you can hitchhike back or forth to Bujaraloz or Pina de Ebro when you reach your desired daily mileage. Or call for a taxi from one of the two bar-restaurantes on N-II.
Buen Camino!
You can return the next day to the point you ended the walk the previous day. I don't see that as "cheating" (whatever that might be on a CaminoOkay thanks for that information Buen.

Is there anywhere you haven't walked? As ever, very useful advice from the forums font of knowledge.It's of course not for me to tell you which route to walk, but just in case you don't know about the alternatives, I thought I'd throw them out.
Plenty of routes in Spain and Portugal she haven't but be sure she will. Met her twice and she's a real trooperIs there anywhere you haven't walked? As ever, very useful advice from the forums font of knowledge.
Hi, Meeshell, Welcome to the forum. I have walked from Montserrat, but I went via Huesca instead of Lleida. You can see the two branches here (but you of course may already know this) https://www.gronze.com/camino-santiago-catalan Based on what the forum members who have taken the Lleida variant have said, I think the Huesca alternative is probably nicer. After Huesca, the scenery is beautiful (before, not so much, but I walked in June when the crops had been harvested and things were all some shade of brown). The Huesca alternative also gives you the not to be missed opportunity to visit the monastery of San Juan de la Pena and the possibility of heading back up to Somport to walk the Aragones, which we did. The ARagones is not very popular, for some reason, but it is beautiful.
If you go through Lleida, you will merge onto Ruta del Ebro, which I walked a few years ago. That's also a very nice route, but again, I think a variant is the better option. Instead of continuing on the Ebro all the way into Logrono, I turned off a few days after Zaragoza to get on the Castellano Aragones, which is one of my favorite solitary caminos ever. But not one I would walk without a GPS. If you look at the schematic Gronze map, all of these alternatives will be much clearer than my rambling. https://www.gronze.com/#todos
It's of course not for me to tell you which route to walk, but just in case you don't know about the alternatives, I thought I'd throw them out. And one more thing -- have you considered starting before Montserrat and walking the Cami St. Jaume from the French border, through Girona, Vic and Manresa to Montserrat. Now that is one lovely walk, with LOTS of unbelievable romanesque churches thrown in if by chance that is an interest of yours!
