Aragonese Way - Section 1 - 7 Days/6 Nights - 133 km - From €470 -
From Jaca to Puente de la Reina

This Walking Holiday explores the Camino Aragones / Aragonese Way, following the iconic Camino de Santiago de Compostela, the famous Way of Saint James.

Claimed by some to be the original Roman road, the Camino Aragones follows the river Aragon. The way starts at the steppes of the Pyrenees and reaches the Navarra Mountains to join the Camino Frances in Puente de la Reina.

At each stage, you are guaranteed a high level of comfort and gastronomy. The trail is clearly marked out with the “Scallop Shell” showing you the way. This section is quite physically demanding and requires a reasonable level of fitness. However, it’s a highly rewarding walk that includes numerous cultural highlights.

Meal: B&B DAY 2 - From Jaca to Berdun (29km 6.5h +200m -340m) From the "Pirineo Aragones", the Aragonese Pyrenees, the Camino follows the river Aragon westwards, on generally flat terrain. This beautiful part of the valley called "corridor of the canal de Berdun", is mostly arable land with very few trees. To the south of the Camino you will see two minor mountain chains: Pena Orel & Sierra de St Juan de la Pena. Town: Internet, ATM, shops. Meal: Half Board DAY 3 – From Berdun to Leyre (33km 6.5h +200m -300m) The Camino continues along the river Aragon, towards the controversial Yesa Dam.

DAY 5 – From Sanguesa to Monreal (26km 6h +550m -300m) Today, you will have a choice between two Caminos. Both options offer beautiful views. If you choose to pass by the Alto de Aibar, the stretch between Rocaforte and Izco is uninhabited and you run the risk of losing your way if you do not follow the signs carefully.

HOTEL AND GUESTHOUSE GRADES - HOW WE CHOOSE YOUR ACCOMMODATION

---

Our accommodation is selected based on a number of criteria, including location, comfort, services, price and character. We always try to book accommodation that is both on/near the Camino and also close to the historical quarter or centre of the town/city. This is facilitated by the fact that the Camino usually goes through the heart of each town and/or city.

In larger towns, which are usually at the beginning and end of each section, we book hotels of a 3* standard. In smaller towns/villages/hamlets in between the larger towns, we choose hotels or guesthouses of a 2* standard. However, there could be some exceptions to this rule, for example, in some small villages, our selection depends on local infrastructure and it may happen that the only possibility is a non-rated guesthouse. This does not mean it is not up to our standards only that it does not have an official classification, which is usually due to the rural and remote nature of parts of the Camino.

Given the reasons stated above, we do believe that a 2* hotel located in the historical centre is a better choice than a 3* hotel located in the outskirts of the town at a distance from the Camino. If our first choice is not available, we will use another accommodation of the same standard and price. If there is no such accommodation available, we may contact you to offer either an upgrade at a premium, or a downgrade with a refund, again based on local infrastructure in each area.

We are determined in our motto: to provide our customers with the best available on the Camino.
