David, I’ve heard good things of this site. The first time I was the area that campsite didn’t exist and the last time I went through I noticed it but stayed lower down the valley in Borce instead; Made a mental note to use it in the future though.

When we walked the GR11 we stayed at the campsite ‘Camping Canfranc’ – see http://www.canfrancestacion.com/camping/ – which is close to Candanchu at the entrance to the Canal Roya (which is the route of the GR11). Really good site with a cafe and small supermarket.

Just a point of accuracy. CandanchÃ¹ and Canfranc aren’t the same place. It has a refuge but this closes at the end of August. CandanchÃº is a ski station (about as attractive as moonbase alpha). Canfranc is another dozen kms down the valley. Canfranc EstaciÃ³n is the railhead for trains from Zaragoza – a couple of shops, hotels and bars and a hostel. It is on a varient of the GR12, the Spanish transpyrenean long distance path. A little further down the valley is the small village of Canfranc which is where the road tunnel under the pass comes out.
