Stage 3: Zubiri - Pamplona

Zubiri is the main town in the Esteribar valley and one of the largest in the area. Although it has undergone a recent transformation, it still retains some features of the 18th century.

To start the road to Pamplona from Zubiri, the starting point is the medieval bridge of this town.

This stage of the Camino runs along the Arga River at the foot of a group of hills covered with beech, oak and Scots pine trees.

As we approach Pamplona, the landscape becomes more clearly influenced by civilization, with its conifers, reforestation and croplands.

You can cross the Arga River over a bridge to reach the old quarry ruins and the path leading to Irotz. The trail offers good views of the river as you make your way to the center of town. You can also follow the paved trail from the river park to reach Zabaldika.

Next, the route takes you through open terrain to the remains of the abandoned village of Santiagozar. From the highest point, you can take a small path down to the hermitage of Trinidad de Arre.

The route continues along the main street of Villava before reaching the Magdalena Bridge, the gateway to Pamplona.
