🐚 Camino de Santiago
Aragonese Way: Cross the Pyrenees from Somport.
The other gateway into Spain from France: through the Somport pass, descending the Aragonese Pyrenees. Jaca, home to the oldest Romanesque cathedral in Spain, and the monastery of San Juan de la Peña tucked beneath a massive rock. It merges with the French Way at Puente la Reina.
Who it's for
For those who want to start the French Way with a quieter, more solitary entrance than Roncesvalles. Watch out for snow in spring.
The moment you'll remember
Santa Cristina de Somport.
When to go
May–Sep.

Your circle sees you advance stage by stage, you let them know you've arrived at the albergue with a single tap (even with no signal—it goes out when it comes back), you send a link to anyone who doesn't have the app, you check tomorrow's weather and your stage's elevation, and you have SOS and the emergency number right at hand. Free for the entire Camino.
Do I need cell service?
Not for the essentials: the Caminos and your stages are saved on your phone, and alerts to your people go out on their own as soon as the signal comes back.
