Mspath, you never cease to amaze me! Your replies are invariably spot on, without extraneous information. I love this one! For the OP, I could also suggest blablacar, but yours is by far the more direct.Have you considered hitching? No joke. From SJPdP find the D933, or the route to Arneguy, where there is a large shopping center close to the old border where trucks/cars often stop for gas. Ask in the resto for a ride. Cars going to Spain usually take N145 which goes through Valcarlos and Roncesvalles, and eventually down to Zubiri. At Zubiri start to walk again straight along the flat camino path which follows the river into Pamplona.
Good luck and Buen camino!
Sorry but I don't understand your responseMspath, you never cease to amaze me! Your replies are invariably spot on, without extraneous information. I love this one! For the OP, I could also suggest blablacar, but yours is by far the more direct.
Blablacar is like Uber but more popular in France and Spain, and kirkie agrees with mspath that hitch hiking would also be a good and very direct method of travel.Sorry but I don't understand your response
Over "a" pass, but not the highest point of the Napolean Route. Valcarlos is the original route, since armies were not interested in a scenic route, but a direct route! The monument to Roldan (Roland) is just off the "highway."If you walk from valcarlos to Roncevalles are you walking over the mountain pass?
Not substantially, but it has more trees, so you need to turn around occasionally for the views.Would you say Croix is substantially more Scenic then valcarlos?
Hello earlier in this thread you mentioned to me the pilgrim blessing would you know what time that is?I would consider walking some of the Camino even with bad knees...maybe take a taxi to the Croix near the mountain pass and then hike over the mountains to Roncevaux and spend a night...otherwise Express Bourricot (www.expressbourricot.com) has a daily luggage delivery to Roncevaux that you could hire for a ride...but still consider spending a night in Roncenaux at least to participate in the Pilgrim Blessing...I did not feel like a real Pilgrim until I spent a night in Roncevaux away from the tourists and vacationers...then from Roncenaux there are taxis and buses to Pamplona.
