I'm very hesitant to respond to this too quickly! :oops: But will be curious to see the answers. -

Like.
If you want to walk the Primitivo I recommend that you start on the Norte. San Vicente de la Barquera could be a good starting point with your time frame. St Jean Pied de Port is a nice enough town, but not nice enough to plan your entire trip... -
Vacajoe replied to the thread Easter 2025 is route open as normal?.As much as you’d not like to book ahead, Easter Week is always peak walking time, especially within 100kms of SdC. Additionally, Easter falls a bit later in the month which will add to the crowds. I rarely book ahead, but I would with your plan

Vacajoe replied to the thread Locks and cables, recommended or not?.No, the unbelievable part was that the four pilgrims ran after him instead of hobbling around slowly down the stony streets

Vacajoe replied to the thread Detours to Javier Castle, Leyre Monastery, and Foz de Lumbier.The road is not difficult, just dangerous as the small bridges over the inlets to the embalse are often blind curves with zero pedestrian space, so you are walking in a lane of what used to be the main highway.

The walkway is at a slight slope with a drop-off, but nowhere near the level of difficulty of that higher...

Vacajoe replied to the thread Detours to Javier Castle, Leyre Monastery, and Foz de Lumbier.Yes, the ruined bridge is on the southern end (Liedena/Jaca/Sanguesa) of the path through the Fox, just before the tunnel. It’s a short side trip from the main path, taking no more than a few minutes to access it. Definitely worth it if you...

Vacajoe replied to the thread Detours to Javier Castle, Leyre Monastery, and Foz de Lumbier.I think your journey was much easier because you avoided the road and its many bridges with no pedestrian lanes or shoulder. With the water that low, you could follow the old path versus the much longer winding roadway with its traffic. That...

Vacajoe replied to the thread Detours to Javier Castle, Leyre Monastery, and Foz de Lumbier.My wife and I walked the north side of the Yesa embalse a few years ago (Leyre to Undues) and it was the single hardest day of ten routes we have walked. Zero support: no food, no water, No cafes, no anything. Humbling and difficult. I rarely...
