St. Jean to Irun

[Michael Riter]

My wife and I have walked the French, Norte, Ingles and from Santiago to Finesterra and Muxia. We're interested in walking from St. Jean to Irun and on to San Sebastian May-June. Understand there are two routes, the "high" route through the Pyrenees and the "low" route through the foothills, however, I cannot find any detailed information on the "low" option. Can someone please direct me to the resources I need to determine milages, availability of accommodations, possible baggage transfer options and any other info you can offer to help us decide whether this is a route we would like to take? Thanks very much in advance.

Michael,
Welcome to the Forum.
For personal/non commercial use I have abstracted and translated into English sections from the French site Liason Roncesvalles-Irun which describes walking in Spain from Roncesvalles to Irun using both local trails and in part the east-west Spanish GR11 trail.

If you would like a copy in English please send me a PM stating your email address.

Happy planning and Buen camino to you and your wife.

There is a rail trail that you could take. The information on the trail can be found at https://www.turismo.navarra.es/eng/organice-viaje/recurso/Patrimonio/5362/Via-Verde-del-Bidasoa.htm

Last year I was considering walking a couple of days on the Camino Baztan in reverse from Pamplona and then somehow connecting to the trail to get to Irun. I was leary of the weather so I terminated my camino in Pamplona without doing any more research.

Hello Mspath, I have just discovered this site and joined up. It looks like an excellent source of information. am planning to start in St Jean and walk to Roncesvalles and then to Irún to walk the northern route with my daughter and would love your translation if that is still possible. We are planning to start around 17 September, do you think that is a good time to start?
Thankyou
Annie
