It is a beautiful border pass between Spain and France, well known for being part of the most traditional route of the Camino de Santiago. Sportingly, the climb on both sides is easy, although on the French side it is much longer as it starts at a lower altitude. The Spanish side is just 6 km from Burguete, the last being the most difficult with an average gradient of 7%. On this side you pass the famous and well-known monastery of Roncesvalles. The French side is 18 km from Arnegui and an average gradient of 4%. The hardest part is 5 km from the summit, with one kilometre at 7%. The landscape on this side is of lush vegetation going up a very closed valley that hardly leaves room for views of the surrounding mountains. The road is very twisty. It is a port with very good asphalt and a lot of traffic in general... so, be careful!

A great climb up to the pass. Once you reach the top you get a great view. There is a small church at the top and also a monument. There has always been a hospital up here. However, only the foundations of it remain

An Alto that is not quite as tough on the legs, but you have to go over there first. In August I was looking forward to refreshments, but then the stand was not open... well, then the beautiful descent follows...

Roland, who is commemorated here, died in 778 as part of the rear guard of Charlemagne's Frankish army. He himself was Margrave of Brittany and was the victim of a Basque revenge campaign against the Frankish conquerors who were retreating from a failed Saracen campaign. Those were complicated times, but things were not to become any less complicated in the Basque Country in the centuries that followed. An epic/song was later sung about Roland, which is part of world literature. The monument itself is simple and rough, exposed up here in the wind of the weather, and can therefore have an immediate effect, without pomp and splendor. Great! https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlacht_von_Roncesvalles

The Rabia Bridge is a medieval stone bridge from the 12th century and Romanesque style that crosses the Arga River, in the Navarrese town of Zubiri (Zubiri, in Basque, means "the town of the bridge". Its name, according to tradition, is due to the belief that any animal that passed under the arches of the bridge would be miraculously cured (especially of rabies). In other versions of the tradition, it was enough for the animals to cross the bridge, or to go around its central pillar three times. The bridge crossing is part of the Camino Frances, and is a mandatory stop for all pilgrims (whether or not they go with their pets).
