    Yes it was once a bar and a pensión, but after the wife passed away it closed. Then opened again but just for lodging. So now it's closed? I checked with Gronze which says it is open. Even that it is a "bar-restaurant" (again). Oh well... I guess...

    I just did some Googling out of curiosity, and it appears the hospitalera retired by March 2023. Good for her! But sad for peregrinos. I did an Aragonés-Invierno combo in 2022, and I just read fave place (Pensión Pacita on the Invierno) also...

    I'm thinking about for next year: to start at the French border, to Montserrat, then take the Lleída branch to the Ebro, then connect (after Zaragoza) to the Lana (through Soria) and finish in Burgos. Didn't you do this once - or part of it? It...

    I also avoid albergues...social anxiety and only child syndrome I think! I just like my space. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. I did albergues on the del Norte, San Salvador and Primitivo and paid my dues. I stayed at Pensión Peregrino in...

    Day 15: Arrés - Ruesta, 27 kms Having a heafty breakfast in the morning was a real treat compared to the scraps I have been surviving on for the last week. Casa de las Sonrisas is really a cool place to stay. I was the last person to leave the...

    *** Intermission: Cultural exploit! *** Two days ago I visited the old monastery of San Juan de la Peña. It is 7 euros for pilgrims with a credencial. It's impossible to miss, right by the country road in a curve. It is located in the...

    Very interesting question. Not that many people walk it and I think (based only on what I see on here and elsewhere) that most people - that is the kind of peope who have walked some of all of the path from Canterbury to Rome - see it as a...
