Camino de Santiago from Pamplona

The Camino de Santiago from Pamplona to Logroño is one of the stretches of the Camino de Santiago preferred by pilgrims, both for its cultural richness and for its exquisite gastronomic and wine culture. The tour crosses a landscape dotted with olive trees and vineyards and is carried out in the company of bucolic rivers such as the Arga or the Ebro.

On this route you will have the opportunity to visit two of the most beautiful cities in northern Spain: Pamplona, capital of Navarra, where every July the San Fermín festival, and Logroño, capital of La Rioja, is celebrated. Medieval villages such as Puente la Reina, Estella or Los Arcos, in which some of the stages end, will also conquer you with their charm.

One of the most surprising landmarks of this route is the visit to the wine fountain, belonging to the Irache winery. A fountain emanates free wine and water all year round. A dream come true for wine lovers!

    ITINERARY
    Day 1
    Arrival in Pamplona
    On the day of your arrival in Pamplona (or Iruña, in Basque) you can take advantage of it to visit the city. Following the route of the famous San Fermin festival or visiting the cafes that Ernest Hemingway frequented are just two of the many things you can do in Pamplona.

    The Cathedral of Santa Maria is a must, as well as the wall and the Citadel. It is also highly recommended to explore the bustling streets of its old town, where you will find a deep-rooted tapas culture.

    The city has many other sights, such as palaces, squares, gardens and emblematic buildings. To discover Pamplona in depth, you will need to spend two nights in the city, so please contact us if you want to add an extra night to your trip.

    Accommodation: Overnight in Pamplona.

    Day 2
    From Pamplona to Puente la Reina
    After walking through Pamplona to leave the city, you will start the climb to Alto del Perdón, where the emblematic steel sculpture of the Pilgrim is located. From the top, you will have the opportunity to say goodbye to Pamplona, because from there you can enjoy excellent views over the city.

    After catching your breath, you will start the descent along a dirt track, until you reach the Romanesque bridge that leads to Puente la Reina, where the stage ends. We recommend you take the afternoon to visit the narrow underground passages that link some of the streets of this medieval town.

    Distance: 23 kilometres.

    Accommodation: Overnight in Puente la Reina.

    Day 3
    From Puente la Reina to Estella
    On the second day of walking, you will notice how the landscape of vineyards becomes increasingly present. A pleasant tour will take you to visit medieval villages such as Cirauqui and Villatuerta.

    By the banks of the River Erga you will reach Estella, where the second stage of the Camino Frances from Pamplona ends. In this medieval village, you can visit various temples, some palaces and a saltwater spring. We also recommend visiting some of the original sections of the wall that once bordered the city: the Puerta de San Nicolás and the Puerta de Santa María.

    Distance: 23 kilometres.

    Accommodation: Overnight in Estella.

    Day 4
    From Estella to Los Arcos
    Shortly after leaving Estella you will enter the old ecclesiastical manor of Ayegui, where you will find the famous wine fountain that belongs to the Irache winery, where it is tradition to toast for happiness.

    Afterwards, surrounded by the tranquillity provided by the wine landscapes of this region of Spain, you will reach Los Arcos, another of the medieval towns on the route. We suggest you visit the remains of its ancient wall, the Church of Santa Maria and the closed fountain, located under the floor.

    Distance: 21,5 kilometres.

    Accommodation: Overnight in Los Arcos.

    Day 5
    From Los Arcos to Logroño
    Today you will leave Navarra to enter the lands of La Rioja, where the landscape of vineyards intensifies. At the beginning of the tour you will have the opportunity to visit Sansol, where you will find various Baroque palaces. We recommend that you do not miss the Palacio del Sindicato.

    Then, along trails and dirt tracks you will reach Torres del Río, a small village with steep, baroque streets, and then Viana. Surrounded by pine trees and orchards, and in the company of the River Ebro, you will reach the end of the stage: Logroño.

    Distance: 27 kilometres.

    Accommodation: Overnight in Logroño.

    Option: If you would like a shorter stage you can stay overnight in Viana. Please contact us for more information.

    Day 6
    Logroño
    The city of Logroño has many attractions. Some of them are: the Gothic-style Cathedral of Santa Maria la Redonda, the church of San Bartolomé and the Paseo del Espolón.

    It also has a nice old town which is worth walking through. Calle Laurel is best known for tapas and wines, although there are many others such as Mercado or San Juan.

    Logroño also houses numerous wineries open to the public, such as Marqués de Murrieta, Campo Viejo or Marqués de Vargas, but to have time to visit them you will need an extra day in the city. Ask us if you want to add an extra night to your trip.

    On the other hand, if you think that 6 days and 5 nights on the Camino de Santiago have not been enough, do not hesitate to contact us to include on your trip some of the stages of the stretch that joins Logroño and Burgos.
