It starts at an altitude of 1,632 m and passes through the towns of Canfranc, Jaca and Puente la Reina in the province of Huesca, and in Navarre, Yesa, Sang\u00fcesa, Monreal and Puente la Reina. In the Navarrese town of Obanos it joins the Navarrese Way, which begins in Roncesvalles. The route coincides with the GR 65.3, so you will find the route doubly signposted. <\/p><figure><iframe src=\"https:\/\/es.wikiloc.com\/wikiloc\/spatialArtifacts.do?event=view&amp;id=7910374&amp;measures=off&amp;title=off&amp;near=off&amp;images=off&amp;maptype=H\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" width=\"100%\" height=\"400\"><\/iframe><\/figure><p>The Aragonese section of the Camino de Santiago is divided into six stages. The first goes from\u00a0<strong>Somport\u00a0<\/strong>to\u00a0<strong>Jaca<\/strong>. It passes through the resort of Candanch\u00fa, where the ancient monastery of Candanch\u00fa was built in the 11th century. <strong>Santa Cristina de Somport<\/strong>It was one of the three most important pilgrims' hospitals and hostels in Christendom, which served pilgrims coming from France after crossing the Pyrenees, and of which practically nothing remains. This stage continues steadily downhill, through deciduous forests and alongside the Arag\u00f3n river, crossing the<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/en\/canfranc-station\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Canfranc station (opens in a new tab)\">Canfranc railway station<\/a><\/strong>The village of Canfranc, Villan\u00faa and Castiello de Jaca. <\/p><p>After this first stage, the route is practically flat. From Jaca, the second stage ends in the small village of\u00a0<strong>Arr\u00e9s<\/strong>. At this stage, you have the possibility to take a detour to go to the<a href=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/en\/san-juan-de-la-pena\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"\u00a0San Juan de la Pe\u00f1a Monastery (opens in a new tab)\">\u00a0<\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/en\/san-juan-de-la-pena\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"\u00a0San Juan de la Pe\u00f1a Monastery (opens in a new tab)\">San Juan de la Pe\u00f1a Monastery<\/a><\/strong>which you can take in\u00a0<strong>Ties <\/strong>or in<strong> Santa Cruz de la Ser\u00f3s<\/strong>. However, bear in mind that you will have to overcome a significant difference in altitude, the old monastery is at an altitude of 1,115 m, and you will be adding kilometres to your route. However, the beauty of the place and the surroundings are well worth the effort.<\/p><p>The route follows the course of the Arag\u00f3n River and crosses the towns of Santa Cilia and Puente la Reina. The third stage completes the route from\u00a0<strong>Arr\u00e9s\u00a0<\/strong>to\u00a0<strong>Ruesta<\/strong>passing through Martes, Mianos and Artieda. From Ruesta the fourth stage ends in\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/soyviajero.com\/sanguesa-en-navarra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Sang\u00fcesa<\/a><\/strong>On this route, after climbing Mount Fenerol, you will have a magnificent view of the Yesa reservoir, the uninhabited village of Tiermas and the Leyre mountain range.<\/p><p>Ruesta and Undu\u00e9s de Lerda are the last Aragonese towns through which the Way passes before entering Navarre and continuing its course towards Santiago. The last two stages will complete the Way from<strong>\u00a0Sang\u00fcesa to Monreal and from Monreal to <a href=\"https:\/\/soyviajero.com\/puente-la-reina\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Puente la Reina (opens in a new tab)\">Queen's Bridge<\/a><\/strong>. The last stage is long and hard, although as compensation, in the small town of Otano you can enjoy the contemplation of the abandoned church of Otano.\u00a0<strong>Our Lady of the Ascension\u00a0<\/strong>and the restored medieval bridge. And before you finish, you will come across the\u00a0<strong>Hermitage of Santa Mar\u00eda de Eunate<\/strong>founded by the Templars and surrounded by legend.<\/p><p>Although you know that there is not a unique Camino de Santiago, and the Aragonese section was not going to be the exception: one of the most important <strong>variants <\/strong>is the one that crosses the Pyrenees from France by the <strong>Puerto del Palo<\/strong>touring the beautiful\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/en\/echo-valley-oza-forest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Oza Forest<\/a><\/strong>through<strong>\u00a0Siresa and Hecho<\/strong>.
