What the Camino Aragonés is like

It is the Camino's way in through Aragon: down from the Somport pass to Jaca, along the Aragón valley beside the Yesa reservoir, and into Navarre through Sangüesa and Monreal to Puente la Reina, where it joins the Camino Francés.

Few pilgrims and small villages: Arrés and Ruesta are little more than their hostels, and there is hardly any water between Ruesta and Sangüesa.
