Arles to Norte

[Smash123]

Hi all!
I walked the Le Puy to Roncesvalles route last spring, and now I am thinking of Arles to Compostela on the Norte in the fall. I have many questions. I have downloaded the WP Norte App. I used the WP Via Podiensis app and found it most helpful. But, is there any similar resource for the Arles? Also mildly curious how one travels between Puenta la Reina to Irun. I know I will figure it out once I am there, but just wondering how many people have/will walk that route and whether I can expect the group to carry me through? (When I did the Le Puy, I orginally intended to stop at SJPdP, but . . . the group carried me through, something for which I will be forever grateful.)

Thanks in advance for any resources and/or info on Arles, and Norte.

And the Gronze map app + website has the info you need. Be aware though that the Gronze maps don't work offline - you need an Internet connection.

I wouldn't expect to find many (or any) other pilgrims walking from Puente la Reina to Irun.

From PlR, local bus to Pamplona then another bus to Irún. Very easy and quick.

Lots of options to get from the Arles to the Norte on foot.

You can branch off the Arles at Oloron-St-Marie and walk the Piemont to SJPdP and then the Nive to Bayonne. From Bayonne, follow the coast to Irun.

Or walk the Arles to the Aragon and when you reach Puente la Reina, walk the CF in reverse to Pamplona, then the Batzan in reverse to Bayonne and follow the coast to Irun.

Or cut over to Pamplona while walking the Aragon (it’s off-route, but easy). Then again the Batzan to Bayonne to Irun.

Or Arles to Aragon to CF and then up the Camino Ignacio to Loiola and hookup with the Norte before Bilbao

One more route: Arles to SJ PdP then GR 10 to Hendaye / Irun. Lovely walk all the way.
