Camino aragonés

The Camino Aragonés (or Aragonese Way ) is a section of the Pèlerinage of Saint-Jacques-to-Compostelle which follows the course of the river Aragon, from where its name. 170 km length, it is completely in Spain and crosses varied landscapes, passing from the mountain to the valley. It leaves the Col of Somport to join Puente Reina, thus making the hyphen between the Via Tolosane of which it is continuity and the Camino frances.
