From Roncesvalles to Zubiri

We leave the Pyrenees to approach the valley where the city of Pamplona is located. During the route between Roncesvalles and Zubiri we will find moderate slopes such as the ascent to the Mezkiritz and Erro passes, or the steep descent to the end of the stage. Efforts that will be rewarded by the lush forests, meadows and Pyrenean villages that we will leave in our path and that will be a gift for the senses.

You leave Roncesvalles with a touch of regret and enter the dense Robledal de las Brujas (Witches' Oak Grove), setting for famous covens. You pass through Burguete and Espinal, the landscape that captivated Hemingway, and climb the Mezkiritz and Erro passes, among pines, birches and oaks, with magnificent views. A long descent brings you to the Puente de la Rabia and Zubiri. Take care on the descent if it rains.
