피리네오 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

Orreaga-Roncesvalles는 캄포스텔라로 가는 길에 영웅들의 노래, 고대의 길, 지친 순례자들의 기억을 간직하고 있습니다. 왕들은 병원, 교회, 수도원, 예배당을 세웠고, 숙박업자들은 이방인을 환대하는 것을 신성하게 여겼으며, 그들의 성모에 대한 사랑, 그들의 형제애, 순례자들, 그리고 그들의 많은 십자가들이 있었습니다. 10세기부터 론세스바예스는 산티아고 데 캄포스텔라로 가는 순례길의 순례자들이 힘든 오르막길 후 쉴 수 있는 곳이었습니다. 산타 마리아 데 론세스바예스는 무엇보다도 영성과 순례의 장소입니다. 순례자 미사, 순례, 누에스트라 세뇨라 형제회. 해발 1057m의 론세스바예스 고개에 1130년 아우구스티노 수도사들이 콜레기아타 데 론세스바예스 수도원을 세웠습니다. 이미 778년에 이곳에서 샤를마뉴 대왕이 이끄는 프랑크족과 바스크족 사이에 전투가 벌어졌습니다. 이 전투에서 전사 롤랑이 전사했으며, 롤랑의 노래가 탄생했습니다.

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

Just after leaving the parking lot, about 300 meters away, take the detour to the left and follow the path very easily and beautifully. If you have decent binoculars, you can see some chicks in the vulture colonies, depending on the time of year, and some adults all year round. Highly recommended, short and sweet.

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.

Beautiful little greenway, very short, but worth enjoying!

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

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.
