Last day -- Obanos to Pamplona, 21k (This was an extra day that we decided to do to go back to Pamplona, we had already walked this route in the opposite direction whilst walking The Camino Frances 6 years before !!) Wonderful day on Good paths and minor roads, Up at first as far as the ridge then downhill most of the way into Pamplona. Plenty of fountains en-route to replenish your water -- Another wonderful day with Great views approaching Pamplona
8th day -- Monreal to Obanos, 28k (his is where The Camino Aragones joins the Camino Frances) Yet another day on Good paths and minor dirt roads, The 1st 10k is Very Undulating as you have to cross some Steep gullies then fairly gentle as far as Tiebas which is a good bet for a late breakfast or an early lunch stop with a good bar near the church, There are also bars at Campanas, Biurrun, Uscar and Eneriz is Plenty of choices this day !! Also Plenty of fountains en-route to replenish your water -- Another wonderful day with good views and interesting villages en-route
7th day -- Sanguesa to Monreal, 26k Yet another day on Good paths and minor dirt roads, predominantly uphill for the 1st 9k to the top of the Alto de Aibar but you will be well rewarded by the excellent views then undulating for a while to Izco then mainly downhill to Monreal. Some fountains en-route to replenish your water -- Another wonderful day with more great views of the surrounding countryside on Very Plenty routed paths and minor roads
6th day -- Ruesta to Sanguesa, 21k Another day on Good paths and minor dirt roads, Quite a pull and a fair hight gain for the 1st 4k then predominantly down hill for the rest of the day all the way into Sanguesa, Only one lunch stop at Undues de Lerda and the bar might well be closed even then so best to pack something just in case !! Only one fountain en-route and that's in Undues de Lerda to replenish your water -- So make sure your bottle is full when you leave here !! -- Another wonderful day with some great views of the surrounding countryside
5th day -- Arres to Ruesta , 26k including slight detour to Artieda for lunch, Another nice start to the day on Good paths, a fairly level day with no nasty surprises. A bit of a pull up to Artieda for lunch but that's your best option other than to pack your own !!. Some fountains in villages that you pass through to replenish your water --an Interesting day passing through a lunar like landscape at times !!
4th day -- Jaca to Arres, 23k, Excellent start to the walk on Good paths, predominately down-hill as far as Puente la Reina de Jaca then a sharp pull up the last 4k to Arres. possible late lunch at Puente la Reina de Jaca just off route accross the bridge in bar. Lots of fountains in villages that you pass through to replenish your water -- and Yet Another Great day

2nd day -- Bedous to top of Col de Somport , 30k by path or 32 by road after Urdos (We chose the latter), Another nice start to the walk on Good paths and minor roads, undulating as far as just before Urdos then you really start to climb with about 1.000m of accent in the last 10k.Late lunch stop at Urdos after 20k with bars but No shops.
