アラスのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Very nice village, the last in Navarre.

The trail runs through the beech forest and ends at Joar Peak (1,417 m), the highest point in the Codés mountain range. The summit houses a telecommunications center and antennas of all kinds. There is also the service lane that ascends from Santa Cruz de Campezo, used by mountain bikers. The geodetic vertex is next to the antennas, but the stop is a few meters further on, at the cliffs where the sculptures and the best views are located. The atmosphere is magnificent on both sides. The route returns along the same path and descends again through the beech forest to begin the ascent to La Plana Peak.

The route follows the red and white GR-1 markings to the plain of La Llana Pass. At several points, other trails appear, but they are shortcuts, variants, or detours to different parts of the mountain range. The path is easy to follow despite the steep slope and the loose stone scree. The trail passes near the impressive limestone tower of Peña de los Cencerros and continues toward the mouth of the two prominent peaks of the mountain range at the entrance to the La Llana plateau. At the GR-1 marker, a path leads off to each side, and the Historic Trail continues straight ahead to Santa Cruz de Campezo. The climb to the summit of Joar begins along the path on the left, first through bushes and then through a welcoming beech forest nestled in the limestone slope of the mountain's north face. These unique forests are isolated near the peaks and are the southernmost beech forests in Navarre.

The Sanctuary of the Virgin of Codés is located at the foot of the mountain range. It is a splendid 16th-century building built on the remains of a hermitage. The Baroque tower dates from the 18th century. The holy water fountain is next to the arcades, and there is also a guesthouse and gardens for relaxing and passing the time. The route climbs to the left of the building to a parking lot where signs and signs display the hiking trails. The path continues along the GR-1 long-distance trail, the Historical Trail, to Santa Cruz de Campezo, on the Álava side of the mountain range. The path is quite steep through a tunnel of oak trees, some of which are centuries old and stand out in a disturbing way against the dense forest.

It is a three-aisled and four-aisled Gothic church with chapels between buttresses, a triforium, and a polygonal apse covered by ribbed vaults. At the base is a 14th-century portal with three archivolts, above which stands the Virgin and Child, adored by two angels. The south portal, the tomb of Cesare Borgia, features ornamentation characteristic of Mannerism and focuses the temple's greatest interest on its external appearance.

Dangerous area if wet. There are staples on the wall for easier climbing.

A wonderful resting place for pilgrims. Further ahead, you can see the Las Cañas reservoir, an important wetland for migratory birds.

A city with narrow streets, high church towers, old walls and lots of atmosphere. In front of the city church is the gravestone for Cesare Borgia... a story that you should read... it ended here.
