Information
About this stage
Once in Vitoria/Gasteiz, it is worth a day’s rest to explore its Gothic quarter and its Old Cathedral, declared a World Heritage Site as part of the Northern Way. Once the pilgrimage route is resumed, the route crosses into the lands of La Rioja, crossing the Llanada Alavesa and the Vitoria Mountains, to finally reach La Puebla de Arganzón and visit its incredible historic quarter.
Recommendation Pilgrim
This is a transition stage so that pilgrims on bikes will not encounter any unforeseen problems along the way. Pilgrims with some kind of disability can enjoy a route without any setbacks.
Route
Itinerary
Km 0 ‧ Vitoria/Gasteiz
We start this stage from the Cathedral of Santa María along Calle Zacarías Martinez in the direction of Plaza de Villa Suso, crossing several monuments and emblematic places in the city, crossing all the civilisation up to the Romanesque basilica of San Prudencio de Armentia, where further on, we find the pilgrim’s road that takes us to a roundabout and then continue straight on along a street towards the N-102.
This last street will take us parallel to the national road in the direction of Gometza. Cross this town to take the road from Gometxa to Subijana, continue straight on, crossing the road that links Zumeltzu with Ariñiz, and continue straight on, having to cross a few more roads, in the direction of Subijana de Álava.
We leave Subijana through the area of the house-palace of Anda and Salazar, which offers us a path with a slight incline, reaching the wooded area we take a detour on the right to continue the ascent. Continuing towards the summit, we ignore a detour and continue straight on until we reach a further detour on the left to reach the summit of the Alto de Chichirri. Once at the top, it is time to descend, taking a descent to the left in the direction of Villanueva de la Oca.
Km 18,8 ‧ La Puebla de Arganzón
We cross the latter town along Calle Real and, on leaving it, on the right, we take a road towards the A-1, and once we have crossed under it, we continue straight on to the river Zadorra. Once there, the road will take us directly to Puebla de Arganzón.
