- Time of past OR future Camino
- Pamplona to Santiago (2013)
Le Puy to Pamplona in segments (2013 - 2016)
Pamplona to León
The tourist office showed us the three streets to follow to reach the GR6. It begins very pleasantly with a more or less long straight-away through woods into more open country.
The blazes are much less frequent than on the GR65, so sometimes there will be no markings at crossings with country roads and farm roads. So just keep going straight. The blazing improves after Lacappelle Marival with one exception. About 250 meters from the fort in Lacapelle Marival one comes to a major intersection with a pharmacy to the hiker's left and a bar/resto to the right. After looking everywhere for a blaze we asked four people where the GR was. None knew. But a waitress in the bar/resto did. She laughed and said she had been asked many times.
The route to Lacapelle M. is lovely and winds up down and around rolling hills. The town of Cardaillac is charming and has a medieval garden in a parklike area on left as you enter the town. Picnic tables are not visible but are next to garden.
Stretch to Gramat from Lacapelle M. is very flat without fountains. We asked for water at a house where a man was just parking his car. He was happy to oblige.
Very few hikers compared to GR65.
