If yoou are walking the alternative route rather than the traditional route, remember that the toughest part of the trail will be at the end of the day rather than the beginning. It involves a tough and long climb.Hi guys,
So I'm days away from starting my camino....and I guess I have a starter for 10.
I get into SJPP at around 2pm...so in theory I could walk to Valcarlos before 5pm. As we are on a Tuesday in September...what are your thoughts about capacity in Valcarlos, and is it reasonable to get there in 3-4 hours?
Thanks
Rhun
And what would be "traditional" and "alternative" route on this stage?If yoou are walking the alternative route rather than the traditional route, remember that the toughest part of the trail will be at the end of the day rather than the beginning. It involves a tough and long climb.

Valcarlos was the original route...pilgrims switched to go over pyrenees to avoid thieves.As far as I am aware the Valcarlos route is actually the older route and therefore probably the "traditional" one. The route Napoleon is the newer alternative. If this is wrong then there are so many written guides that have mislead me.
