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>\n\n\n

The first goes from Somport <\/strong>to Jaca<\/strong>. It passes through the Candanch\u00fa station, where the ancient Monastery of Santa Cristina de Somport<\/strong>,which was one of the three most important pilgrim hostels of Christendom, and which attended to pilgrims coming from France after crossing the Pyrenees, and of which practically nothing remains. This stage continues constantly downhill, between deciduous forests and alongside the Arag\u00f3n River, crossing the Canfranc railway station<\/a><\/strong>The village of Canfranc, Villan\u00faa and Castiello de Jaca. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After this first stage, the route is practically flat. From Jaca, the second stage ends in the small village of Arr\u00e9s<\/strong>.At this stage, you have the option to take a variant to head towards the <\/a>Monastery of San Juan de la Pe\u00f1a<\/a><\/strong>which you can take in Ties <\/strong>or in Santa Cruz de la Ser\u00f3s<\/strong>. Now, keep in mind that you'll have to overcome a significant elevation change, as the old monastery is located at an altitude of 1,115 m, and this adds kilometres to your journey. However, the beauty of the place and its surroundings are well worth the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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 Arr\u00e9s <\/strong>to Ruesta<\/strong>, passing through Martes, Mianos and Artieda. From Ruesta the fourth stage ends in Sang\u00fcesa<\/a><\/strong>, On this tour, after climbing Mount Fenerol, you will have a magnificent view of the Yesa reservoir, the abandoned village of Tiermas, and the Sierra de Leyre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ruesta and Undu\u00e9s de Lerda are the last Aragonese towns the Camino passes through before entering Navarre and continuing its course towards Santiago. The last two stages will complete the Camino from Sang\u00fcesa to Monreal and from Monreal to 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. Our Lady of the Ascension <\/strong>and the restored medieval bridge. And before you finish, you will come across the Hermitage of Santa Mar\u00eda de Eunate<\/strong>founded by the Templars and surrounded by legend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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 variants <\/strong>it is the one that crosses the Pyrenees from France via the Puerto del Palo<\/strong>touring the beautiful Oza Forest<\/a><\/strong>through Siresa and Hecho<\/strong>. This variant accompanies the river Arag\u00f3n Subord\u00e1n<\/strong>continues along the Foz de Bini\u00e9s <\/strong>to reach Berd\u00fan and Martes, where it joins the road from Somport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
