I am a slow stroller and I try to keep distances at 15 km or lower per day. I see the distance between Pamplona and Puente de la Reina is about 24 km. I have not found towns in between with accomodations. Does any one have any feedback regarding this stage? Thank you.
Welcome to the club. I am a slow walker. Probably even slower due to injuries from traumatic car accident. Firstly, you do not have to follow or stick with the
Brierly Guide book. As it says, it is "just" a guide. Walk your "own" camino! Walk at your own pace. Walk at your own comfort.
When my children and I walked the
Camino Frances Fall 2022, we averaged about 11-13 kms/day. As a result we had an enjoyable and memorable experience. We enjoyed the vistas, a lone sunflower in the middle of a vast open field, the mesmerizing fog rolling down Alto de Perdon akin to a winter surf coming on the north shore of Oahu in Hawaii, even the cold and misty climb to Cruz de Ferro, and many others.
In Uterga, 17 kms from Pamplona, there is Camino del Perdon. Very nice and comfortable beds/rooms, great food, very nice tinto, there's even a signed poster of the cast of the movie "The Way." My picky children fell in love with the accommodation and its services. Noellia, the owner of the place and her sister do a wonderful job running the place. They even offered me room service after seeing my physical challenges. I thought it's a very nice rest stop before Puente La Reina.
Again, walk your own Camino. Set/create your own stages. You will find wonderful accommodations between the typical stages.
Buen camino. Ultreia et suseia.
