Thank you for your reply. Is one way easier or shorter than the other? Do you know if both ways equally used?I walked the Napoleon and it was beautiful. I also drove the Valcarlos (I was a passenger) and it too was very picturesque. For beauty I don't think you can go wrong either way. I have not walked both so I cannot comment on the difficulty of each.
Buen Camino!
Your information is much appreciated.I have heard that the Val Carlos has many fewer people walking. I have also heard they can both be quite challenging depending on your fitness level and how much your pack weighs. I don't know if there is much difference in the distance but I believe there are more options for accommodations and transportation on the Val Carlos.

It would be interesting to know how to contact her, because besides the albergue, local hostals are good, but on the expensive side (at least for stingy pilgrims And since the Napoleon route is now closed from November to Mars, I would expect many more people spending the night in Valcarlos. The municipal may become insufficient.We took the advice of the office the day we left from SJPP, that day it was Valcarlos(April 01). There is a small albergue in Valcarlos and if full like it was the day we left we found a place at the end of town a woman rents out rooms to pilgrims has a stamp etc. our room was a very cute apartment. The woman is very pleasant and it made our first long day a good one.
