The Nacedero del Urederra Nature Reserve
An easy walk for the whole family to explore the Urederra’s waterfalls and pools with their turquoise water. Best done out of season and on weekday mornings to avoid the crowds, but it’s truly magnificent. Unfortunately, the link to the Balcōns de Pilotas is no longer accessible. Remember to book your parking space in advance on the nature reserve’s website.

Very difficult
Departure from Estella-Lizarra (Navarre)
Fiftieth stage of the Camino de Santiago. This stage takes you to the southernmost reaches of Navarre, to the picturesque village of Torres del Río, with its Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a jewel of Romanesque art. In the blazing sun, this route is long and gruelling. When you arrive in Irache, known for its wine fountain, you will have walked for only half an hour, and you will still have 27 km to go… yet Irache wine is very strong, even if it goes down easily! Remember to fill your water bottle… with water!

Easy
Departure from Estella-Lizarra (Navarre)
The medieval old town of Estella, through which the River Ega flows, boasts numerous Romanesque and Gothic buildings that bear witness to its former splendour. ‘Estella la bella’, as the pilgrims of the Middle Ages called it, is situated in Navarre, on the Camino Francés, between Puente la Reina and Logroño. I visited this beautiful town during the forty-ninth stage of my Camino de Santiago.

Difficult
Departure from Puente la Reina/Gares (Navarre)
Forty-ninth stage of the Camino de Santiago. This short stage remains very interesting thanks to the towns you pass through, such as Mañerú, Cirauqui and Villatuerta, until you reach your destination for the day, Estella, on the River Ega, a marvel from centuries past, which welcomes you with a very photogenic bridge.

Departure from Abaltzisketa (Gipuzkoa)
A superb circular route in the karst massif of the Sierra de Aralar to reach Ganboa (or Ganbo, 1,413 m), the highest point in the area. A few slightly technical sections; please read the description carefully. GPS or the Visorando app recommended.

Departure from Torres del Río (Navarre)
The fifty-first stage of the Camino de Santiago. On this stage, you leave Navarre and enter La Rioja, famous for its vineyards, before reaching Logroño. The twenty kilometres of this section begin with a path winding through ravines, but once you reach Viana, the route becomes much easier to walk. Make the most of your late afternoon and evening to explore Logroño, a city steeped in history and traditions that have been passed down since the Middle Ages. In the evening, the narrow streets of the old town are bustling with life.
