オロスベテルでののおすすめグラベルライド

It's the first road sign indicating the distance to Santiago. It's worth a photo.

Even if you don't plan or have the ability to walk the entire Camino Frances, the stage that reaches Roncesvalles is a must for the beauty of the landscapes and the evocative atmosphere it offers, especially when—descending from the Ibañeta Pass—the boundless Spanish landscape suddenly opens up before your eyes in the golden light of sunset. It's a magical moment, ideally shared with other pilgrims and then enhanced with a visit to the Collegiate Church. The stamp on the Credencial is also beautiful.

Don't miss a visit to the Pilgrims' Hospital and the Collegiate Church of Santa María. Also, learn about the history of Roncesvalles, as it's very interesting.

It is a very pleasant straight of slides... by car... because by bike you notice them in your legs.

Roncesvalles, also known as Orreaga in Basque, is a small town in the region of Navarra, northern Spain. It is best known for the legendary Battle of Roncesvalles in 778, where Charlemagne's rearguard was defeated. This historical and spiritual site is also an important starting point for the Camino de Santiago, the famous pilgrimage route to the tomb of Saint James in Galicia. In Roncesvalles you can admire the impressive Gothic collegiate church of Santa María de Roncesvalles, where the image of the Virgin of Orreaga is venerated. Other places of interest include the Church of Santiago, the Chapel of the Holy Spirit and the Museum-Treasury, where you can see relics, paintings and sculptures from different periods.

The monastery complex is an impressive building and worth a visit. There are also two cafés, a hotel and the pilgrims' hostel.

Auritz/Burguete is a charming village in the province of Navarra, northern Spain, known for its beautiful Pyrenean architecture and rich history. The village is located on the Camino de Santiago, just after Roncesvalles, and is known for its characteristic houses with steep roofs designed to prevent snow accumulation. Auritz/Burguete has suffered several fires over the centuries, so many of the current buildings are reconstructions from the 18th and 19th centuries. The famous writer Ernest Hemingway stayed here in the 1920s and described the village in his novel "The Sun Also Rises". The village offers a peaceful setting with beautiful forests and is an ideal place for nature lovers and pilgrims.
