[QUOTE="J Willhaus, post: 1254312, member: 41003"] You can also take a slight detour tomorrow on your way to Sanguesa to stop at and see the castle in Javier if you are into castles at all. (Look on Google maps.) There a couple of hotels, cafes, and restaurants so you can break for refreshment. If you feel like a tour, they also have an audio tour in English. Doesn't take too long and at least you can get a stamp there in the gift shop. It is the birthplace of Saint Francis Xavier. If you were going to be in the area more than just a day there is a lot to see. Above the nearby town of Yesa is the Leyre Monastery. South of Sanguesa is the walled city of Sos del Rey Catholico and of course the Lumbier Gorge is a slight detour on your way forward to Monreal. Some background about Artieda from the local taxi driver. A few years ago some young people (I think a group of 5 friends) from the "city" moved there and starting sprucing the town up. They also have a campground and some vacation rental apartments. When we were there a couple of years ago they were using "work away" volunteers to help out in the busy season. The town has no store, but vendors come to the town one or two times per week to supply vegetables, meat/fish, and we were told that there is even a "bank" that comes in a van to allow the older villagers to do their banking and official business. It is kind of a holiday destination along with Ruesta and last summer staff from these albergues called over to Arres a couple of times to let us know that they were completely booked out and there would be no room for pilgrims. This region is popular for parties, meetings, and weddings. [/QUOTE]
