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.

2024 edition: The Brierley Camino Frances Guide
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
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.

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.
