Peter Pannevis: The reason I ask about Somport-Pte. la Reina is because, as you recall, am making a side trip to Lourdes and I found out this is a logical route to follow after Lourdes. I found out through your help that indeed I could cross the border Canfranc-Pau without a problem via bus, then to Lourdes from Pau/Oloron via train. Thanks...jorge
