Tips
In the 11th century, the monastery of San Salvador is said to have stood here at the top of the pass, on the foundations of which a small chapel was built in the 1960s. A little further up the hill is the Roland Monument, which commemorates the Battle of Roncesvalles by the Basques against the French army under Charlemagne on August 15, 778. Above all, the panoramic view from up there is really breathtakingly beautiful!
