Jaca

Jaca lies in the foothills of the Pyrenees about 30 kms from the Spanish / French border Our bus ride from Pamplona in the Navarro region south east to Jaca in the Aragon region was an easy two hour journey through wonderful and familiar landscapes.

After the Camino Baztan we had another week to play with to make our way back to Lectoure. We decided on Jaca as a starting point to walk some days ‘backwards’ (ie not in the direction of Santiago) to France on Camino paths we’d walked before - the Aragones and Arles. If that makes sense!

Another reason for this choice was to visit the Monasteries of San Juan de la Pena. Although Domi and I had been to Jaca before and I was here a second time with our friend (and Camino walker) Jill - we’d never taken the side trip to visit the monasteries. So glad we did today. Nothing short of extraordinary. Photos to come in a separate post.

In the meantime, a few snaps from Jaca. ❤️Weiterlesen
