Departure from Baztan (Navarre)
This circular route covers the peaks of the "Gorra" mountain range between 850 m and 1100 m above sea level. The 360° panorama from the ridges offers a selection of images of the Basque Country, including the Baztan valley (Alkurruntz, Autza), the Iparla mountain range, the green hills of Gorospil, Mondarrain, and the Sare valley with... La Rhune. The return trail to the west crosses a beautiful forest of oak and pine trees and several small, very bucolic streams.

Departure from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port (Pyrénées-Atlantiques)
The forty-sixth stage of the Camino de Santiago. A physically demanding stage, featuring the ascent of the Pyrenees, splendid views of the surrounding Basque Country if the weather permits, free-roaming herds, a sense of being high up, and the excitement of crossing into Spain.
After a long, steep descent, you arrive at the Monastery of Roncesvalles. Given the altitude of the finish point and the cool temperatures, I preferred the monastery dormitory to camping. From Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, a whole new journey begins. The landscapes are no longer the same, nor are the pilgrims. From here on, there are ten times as many people on the paths. Very few French people and lots of Koreans, Australians, Americans, Filipinos and, of course, Spaniards. From here on, you have to speak Spanish or English or use Google Translate. But you always manage to make yourself understood and get by. That’s the magic of the Camino de Santiago.

Departure from Sare (Pyrénées-Atlantiques)
From the Rhune mini-train station, this hike climbs to the summit at 905 metres. The trail crosses moors, pastures and small woods, offering progressive views of the Basque Coast and the Pyrenees. Along the way, pottoks and mountain birds punctuate the ascent. At the summit, the 360° panorama reveals the ocean on one side and the Pyrenean mountain range on the other, rewarding your efforts with a spectacular natural spectacle.
