    Vacajoe replied to the thread Overcrowded Camino Frances.
    Large running event outside of Pamplona, holiday week throughout Spain, and albergues not open or limited to pilgrims just yet - the perfect storm for bed shortages. I agree that she should switch the Aragon Way. A bus leaves from Pamplona daily...

    Vacajoe replied to the thread DETOUR: bridge out near Canfranc.
