    There are luggage transfer services all the way along the CF with plenty of info on this forum. The main service in SJPDP is ExpressBourricot, all the info is on their website. Presumably they don't expect peregrinos to reach Roncevalles much...

    I ended up pushing the entire trek up to Alto de Perdon. There were too many pedestrians to try to pedal around them.

    I don't believe there are any "rules" limiting your use of a bike on the Napoleon. That being said, I would only do it with a very sturdy mountain bike, there are several spots that would require some experience handling rough terrain and the...

    Riding the Camino in 2022 I got my self a bit worked up over this climb, so much so that for the first & only time ever I used the pack transport service to Roncesvalles. Suffice to relate that the ride up (road) was pretty easy but then I had to...
