Please, give us your thoughts/opinions

Hi, eze,

Welcome home. In your absence I´ve gotten my plan pretty well set for the summer. I will start in either Llançà or Port de la Selva and go through Girona and Vic to Montserrat. From there on the Camí Catalá to San Juan de la Peña and then on the Aragonés to Puente la Reina. There I hop on a train or bus in Pamplona and get to Ponferrada for the second half.

I think September can be very hot down there in Andalucía. I haven´t been there during that month, but I think some posts from Anniesantiago may give you an idea of the possibilities. (Maybe post a separate thread in Vdlp asking for experiences in September).

I will start walking in early June and will report back to you. I think I´ve got the accommodation options pretty well explored, and the apartment owned by the monastery in L´Estany has given me a place to stop after Vic. I have spoken with the woman there to find out details. The apartment is 40 € without sheets and can hold 1-4 pilgrims. The monastery, especially the cloisters, looks like it´s well worth a visit. Normal operating hours are mornings only, till 2 pm, but the woman did say that if I stay in the apt. she will let me visit the monastery in the afternoon, since she´ll have to come back to get me into the apartment anyway. Sometimes there are afternoon group tours, but if not, if you stay there, you can be sure of seeing it.

Enjoy planning for this September, and let us know what you decide. I hope to walk the Mozárabe in the next couple of years, so if you walk that this summer, we can trade information. Buen camino, Laurie
