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.

Very nice except it is mainly road

An amazing place with magnificent views and birds of prey soaring just above your head. A spectacular sensation!

It is a small stretch of just 5 km with an average gradient of 2% (238 metres of elevation gain) that leaves the village of Aribe heading west, towards the valley of Roncesvalles and Burguete. It crosses the village of Garralda and the last 500 metres are by far the most demanding.

If you come to visit the Iparralde area... you can't miss it. It's worth a visit, either by bike or after the route. It has a lot of activity and life, especially in summer.

Starting point for several climbs that allow you to cross the border and reach Spain. It is a very quiet town where you can take a break and get water. I remember that on hot summer days... the heat is oppressive because there is a lot of humidity. It is a typical town in the area where you will also find some bars where you can have a drink.

One of the best discoveries this year. I was really looking forward to visiting this area of the Pyrenees, and it has clearly exceeded my expectations. In addition, it was a beautiful day, with sun and good temperature. I couldn't ask for more. Sorogain is a border crossing with 2 very different sides. The Spanish side is flat and enjoyable, crossing a beech forest, following the course of a stream and opening up the majestic valley in the final part, surrounded by horses and sheep. It is approximately 8km with an average gradient of 3%, with the last 2km being harder and with irregular slopes. The French side is also spectacular but much harder. It is also 8km but with an average gradient of 8% and peaks of 18%. There are several km with an average gradient of over 10%, and the final slope is 500m at 15%!!! The views of the Urepel valley are wonderful. The road on both sides is in perfect condition, although it is very narrow and you have to be careful with the few cars there are.

One of the most inhospitable and spectacular mountain passes in the eastern Pyrenees, with several slopes, all of them very difficult. The landscape is wild and wonderful. You can breathe absolute tranquility and you can dedicate yourself exclusively to enjoying the views, the horses, the sheep, the cows and the suffering on the bike. The summit is on the border with Spain, although there is no road that crosses the border, so the pass runs entirely in France. I have climbed it on 2 of its slopes. The first time I climbed it on the slope that crosses the Col d'Orgambide, on the D428 road, which starts from Estérençuby. The first 3 km are very easy, until you cross the detour to go up to Artaburu, where the road begins to have slopes of more than 10%. From there, to the summit, the climb is very hard, around 9%, on a very rough and bumpy road, with a lot of humidity and crossing a wonderful beech forest. Once you reach the top of the Col d'Orgambide, you turn right and continue climbing for another half kilometre with a gradient of 11%. There comes a small descent, to face the last 3 kms, the first 2 very hard with several 13% gradients. The last kilometre is very easy and has panoramic views that are simply wonderful. The second time I climbed it on the side that starts from Arneguy and Ondarolle. This side is harder than the previous one, with a central section that is hellish, being 6 kms at an average of 10%, and a very hard km at 12% and 18% gradients!!! The final part is more gentle. You cross the Croix de Thibault in the penultimate kilometre of the climb. The final kilometre is very gentle and with beautiful and exciting panoramic views.

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!

This is one of my favourite views on the way back to Irati. The balcony from which you can see Mount Errozate is simply spectacular, both on rainy days and on the rare days when the blue of the sky and the green of the mountains contrast.

It is a typical small village in Iparralde, right next to the main town Sant-Jean-Pied-Port-de-Port. There is nothing special about it, but if you pass by it, you should enjoy it. There is a nice fountain in the centre of the village.

It is a typical Basque town in the Navarrese Pyrenees where we stopped to eat some tapas after walking the Irati Xterm route in the opposite direction. We were on a terrace enjoying the sun after a day of lots of rain, fog and cold on the French side. It was worth the stop and recovery before facing the last port of the day.

At the exit/entrance of the tunnel that we find almost at the top of Puerto de Larrau, we have the most photographed horseshoe curve on the Spanish side of this port. The perspective of this curve with the Irati Forest behind it is beautiful.

Border crossing between Spain and France. Beautiful and spectacular for both countries. From France, the route can be reached via two roads. What all three sides have in common: - narrow road - hardly any traffic - the initial section is completely covered by trees, passing through immense and beautiful beech forests - the final section is open, with spectacular views. At the top of Col d'Orgambide and Azpegui (on the Spanish side), you can walk to several ancient Neolithic buildings.

We are at the entrance to the Irati beech forest on the French side, near the Chalet Pedro d'Irati. Nearby there are a couple of very small lakes surrounded by beech forests that are worth visiting.

The port of Larrau is one of the 5 large ports of the Pyrenees. Not only is it one of the toughest ports (on the French side); It is one of the ports with the greatest scenic beauty, enjoying the authentic wild and rugged Pyrenees. The two slopes are different in terms of hardness and landscape. You have to try both options and decide which one you like best. The Port of Larrau is included in 2 marches: IratiXtrem and Larra Larrau. I also recommend both marches: impeccable organization and hard and beautiful routes. And remember: the Pyrenees must be respected and kept clean.
