I walked into Puente la Reina today. Maximum temperature here is about 42°C at 6pm.
I've just watched the news and they are talking about fires in Obanos - about 30 minutes walk before Puente la Reina.
I've tried Googling to see if it's on the Camino path but I can't find anything recent.
People in Pamplona need to be aware that the path may be affected.
If anyone has any more information please post.

Get your Spanish eSim (phone number)
Get a Spanish mobil number + data while on the Camino
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

According to this article the fire is a few km south of the Camino Frances between Mendigorría and Artajona. But these fires can spread rapidly in such conditions. As well to keep an eye on events.

On the television news the Mayoress of Obanos is speaking about how the fires are affecting Obanos. I think there are a couple of fire zones.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

This website is giving live updates. Apparently the fire has spread but so far is not close to the urban areas.

With the growing amount of fires and unwalkable temperatures on camino routes I feel very badly for those people who because of work and other circumstances have to walk during peak fire/temperature season. I also worry if in the future this will lower the number of pilgrims and hurt so many family owned businesses that support pilgrims.
