Arriving here had been difficult since the CF path from Zubiri was covered with ice and snow; I had mainly walked on the verges of route N-135.

As the only pilgrim I could sleep not in the dorm but in a tiny cell behind the church altar in my sleeping bag covered with their blankets but NO heat ! All truly was freezing!!

Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port  13.10.15.webp

The famous red door of the municipal albergue with its welcoming shell was ajar. Crossing that special threshold symbolically always began my new camino adventure; it is a magical entrance to another way of life, the camino way....Serendipity prevails.
For me the Camino Frances could ONLY begin at Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, this picturesque Basque mountain town in the French Pyrenees.

16 March 2024,
VDLP section between Embalse del Alcántara and Cañaveral. Ghostly sheep appearing in the mist. A beautiful day. My walking friend and I continued to Grimaldo because (there no longer being an Albergue at the embalse ) we had taken a taxi from
Casar de Cásares to the embalse ..to start the day from the embalse …. .

Camino Frances

Porte de Saint Jacques

Porte de Saint Jacques.webp

A new day was dawning in the eastern sky beyond the medieval Porte; soon my last camino would begin as I turned away from the Porte to walk west toward Orreaga/Roncesvalles on the original pass through the mountains which rises from the Cols des Cize/Urhart-Cize on the east to Ibaneta on the west.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
