Probably on the verges of route N 135 or a combo of the CF Valcarlos path and N 135. The OP who mentioned landslides may have misunderstood where they recently occured. Such landslides often in the past have occured along the TER rr tracks from Bayonne to SJPdP. For example see here.If the Napoleon is closed and portions of the Valcarlos route is closed due to a landslide, how will folks walk from SJPP? Just curious.
I am curious to hear about the weather/snow you find. We start in Roncevalles on the 26th and have reservations at Suseia.I found out, the foot bridge is out about a kilometer past Arnéguy so we must walk on the main road which is still open. That might explain why I saw so many people on the road today during my taxi ride in.
Also I found out that Albergue Suseia iin Zubiri is currently closed but is opening March 26th.
Thanks for your update. The main route N 135 from Arneguy will lead you up to Valcarlos where you can pick up the camino or continue to follow the road to Roncesvalles.

CameraHiker, ….. wish you could told us where did flew from ? If from Canada /USA . What are the latest requirements for entry Into two countries , for Spain and France , for fully vaccinated pilgrims. Im flying from CanadaFinally made it to SJPdP starting in the morning. I think there may be about a dozen of us starting tomorrow. Took the taxi from Pamplona and saw several walkers in the road which looked sketchy in a few areas. The peligrino office stated there’s a section on the Valcarlos route that closed due to landslides I think. My Spanish isn’t great and my French is worse.
Looking forward to it.
Bien Camino!

Is it ok to keep one empty plastic bottle in the back pack ? Filler it up, it may come handy when try to chew buggette with rock of cheese , are choking you ? Just Saying !Don't forget the wine tap outside the monastery in Estelle but don't drink too much lol
Only if you like the cheapest of cheap, harsh, new, almost undrinkable wine. They don't put the Rioja Gran Reserva through the tap. Most of us get to the tap early in the morning having stayed overnight in Estella. 9am is not the best time to taste red wine.Is it ok to keep one empty plastic bottle in the back pack ?

you are right , but it is novelty ,.. something different, something still unique,.. of course the fountain wine will not win any awards, good for a sip or two, good for a laugh or two, beside I think all wines are good , only some better, My two cents.Only if you like the cheapest of cheap, harsh, new, almost undrinkable wine.

You can check this site for up to date requirements. It's easy to use and provides links to the official government sources.CameraHiker, ….. wish you could told us where did flew from ?

Yes that's fine , my understanding of it is that there is 1000L a day so enough to fill your spare bottle upIs it ok to keep one empty plastic bottle in the back pack ? Filler it up, it may come handy when try to chew buggette with rock of cheese , are choking you ? Just Saying !Cheers !
the winery only puts a specific amount through each day and many peregrinos use their shell to sip from.Yes that's fine , my understanding of it is that there is 1000L a day so enough to fill your spare bottle up
They do ask that you only take 1 litre but saying that when I pass through in the next 10 days or so I just use my shell to sip from after all I don't want extra weight in my backpackthe winery only puts a specific amount through each day and many peregrinos use their shell to sip from.
It could be considered a little greedy to fill a bottle and deprive fellow pilgrims who come later.
Up to you and possibly why it is not the best drop but a traditional thing to do.
The website for the monastery in Roncesvalles says they’re asking for proof of vaccination. What is it they want to see from US pilgrims? I’ve got my paper card but I’m debating asking a French pharmacy to convert it to their Covid pass in spite of it being no longer required, just to have something to show when asked.Yes, the footbridge in not in fact out But, it is taped off and there is a small wash out just 20 or so feet prior to the bridge. I don’t know why I saw so many people walking on the road when I took the taxi from Pamplona, maybe they missed some turn offs? We were rarely on the road.
There are many Albergue’s open with many more posted they are opening soon.
The Albergue de Pereginos in Roncesvalles had a full floor with only people in the bottom bunk, so our floor was half full.
I flew out of the United States and only needed the QR code from the SpTH app for entry into the county. I did not need a France Covid Passport for the room in SJPdP.
I’ll try to post more later. Internet is iffy at times.
Just kidding around.. not a wine drinker.. wine in the fountain is safe from me , lolthe winery only puts a specific amount through each day and many peregrinos use their shell to sip from.

Thanks, good informationI realize that people are just joking around, but still want to say that the wine provided at Bodegas Irache is limited to 100 (not 1,000) liters per day. And they do not ask you to only take one liter, they basically ask you to take only a “trago,” which translates as a shot (or in this context perhaps a large sip/small glass) and to think of others who come along later. It also says in Spanish that it has to be paid for to be carried away.View attachment 120884View attachment 120885
Thank you Kanga , fingers crossed, , hoping for the best, Cheers ! Buen Camino.Lucky you @CameraHiker! It is a beautiful walk, from SJPDP to Arneguy along the path, even if you have to walk some of the road after that. I wear something bright and colourful to be as visible as possible to cars, the road is narrow in places. My fingers crossed you do not have to send too much time on the road. It is usually a lovely walk.
