This stage passes over innumerable bridges over the Arga, the Navarrese river par
excellence, which flows entirely through this territory. Its numerous tributaries will guide
us all the way to the capital of the region: Pamplona, the first city on the French Route,
bastion of the Basques and internationally renowned for the Sanfermines festival. It is
time to take a break after two intense days, enjoying the gentle slopes in one of the
shortest stages, just over twenty kilometres.
Recommendation Pilgrim
Easy and gentle stage. You should pay attention before getting to Zuriain because this part could be
a little bit dangerous, especially when it rains. If you are doing the way by bike you should know
that this is not a complicated stage for you.
There are other different ways of crossing Irotz, but the best one is the one that leads you straight
to Huarte. The one that crosses Arleta is easy but it has many slopes in which you should get off
the bike and walk.
