After more than a year from the release of "Cento Giorni in Cammino" in the bookshop, I publish some updates on the accommodation facilities available for those who walk in the stretch from Lourdes to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. For these updates, as always, I have to thank some pilgrims who give me the great gift of sharing with me their travel experience. Among these the first is the great friend Fabio Sebastiano, who walked last autumn the Aragonese Way from Lourdes and the French: if you want to see some really beautiful photos, do not miss his site.
I also thank Maria Corno who sent her comments supplementing what is reported in this article.

- In Arudy the parish priest who guaranteed the welcome to pilgrims for many years with his very nice cat has retired. His successor will continue to welcome pilgrims to the parish, but he cannot guarantee the evening dinner. In the village there are all the services to be able to supply and dine; however, 3 km before Arudy there is the possibility to stay in Sainte Colome:
Gîte pèlerin CAZET
Please note that the property is only open in the summer months (from mid-May onwards). Very important to book at least 2 days in advance because the owners do not live nearby.
