På trods af atEstella ikke er en særlig stor by, har den meget at byde på. Caminoen går ind langs floden og holder sig til den vestlige bred. Hvis man vil se mange af kirkerne eller bo i nogle af alberguerne, er man nødt til at krydse Ega-floden.

Byen kan prale af et imponerende antal historisk vigtige bygninger, så mange, at det ville tage det meste af en weekend at besøge dem alle. De to, man ikke må gå glip af, er Palacio de los Reyes de Navarra (som faktisk aldrig blev brugt af kongen af Navarra) og Iglesia de San Pedro de la Rua. De andre omfatter Iglesia de Santo Sepulcro (når du kører ind i byen på venstre hånd, lukket siden 1881), Iglesia de San Miguel og Basílica del Puy, som kræver en klatretur til toppen af byen. Sørg for at bruge nok tid på at vandre rundt i gaderne for at få det hele med.

Hvis du er i Estella for at hvile dig og gå på opdagelse, er der nogle fremragende vandrestier i nærheden. Spørg efter kort i turistinformationen ved siden af Palacio.

Notice

Offentlige toiletter og drikkefontæne ved indgangen til Estella, lige efter den første albergue.

Fiesta

Torsdag er markedsdag i Estella, præcis som det var for 900 år siden. Læg vejen forbi Plaza de los Fueros (overfor Iglesia de San Juan), hvor du finder et frisk udvalg af næsten alt, hvad der er i sæson i Spanien.

Estella har to beskyttere, San Andres og La Virgen del Puy. Førstnævnte fejres som "El Viernes de Gigantes" den første fredag før den første søndag i august. Det vrimler med kæmper, og der er tyreløb. Sidstnævnte, for jomfruen, fejres den 25. maj.

History

Geografisk set ligger Estella nord for det, der ellers ville være en let gåtur vestpå fra Villatuerta. Dets vækst som handelscentrum skyldtes ikke pilgrimme (som det var tilfældet de fleste steder), men snarere kong Sancho Ramirez ' manipulationer i slutningen af det 11. århundrede.

The Road

Hvis du har boet i et af alberguerne på den nye side af byen, skal du krydse tilbage over floden for at slutte dig til caminoen uden for byen.

A local favorite. Great bocadillos and coffee, along with kind service.

Was surprised to see so much activity in the streets for such a small compact city. Tons of ancient Roman streets, bridges, and buildings, crafts, exhibits. Great for people watching.

This was such a fantastic stop for me - warm welcome from the sisters - spotlessly clean bedroom & bathroom with crisp clean towel & bed linen
In the kitchen dining area - food & drinks was laid out to help yourself .
My first night in a private room for 20 euros
Such kind, unassuming hospitality
Throughly recommend

Excellent, best accommodation on the Camino so far. Sun terrace, washing facilities (5€ for machine use but free use of laundry room). Lovely hosts.

Do NOT follow Google Maps to get here, it will take you over the top of the town unnecessarily. Instead, get directions to the Plaza de Toros (bulll ring) then it's a 5 minute walk up the hill from there.

Loved my stay at Alda on a family filled square. Walked around the main plazas and ate. You can stock up on anything you need for trail.

One of the best alburgues I have stayed in. The hosts are wonderful and can speak English. Unique building, comfortable beds, library/ meditation room and delicious breakfast. They are definitely here to make the pilgrim experience a special one. I stayed for two days and could have stayed longer!

Self check in with an automated dispenser providing you with your room key.

Great location and a view of the old church. Cross a small bridge and you are in a newer part of town within 5 minutes.

We were lucky to be there during a fiesta so the place was booming with activity.

Recommend.

It was great service.
Delicious food. Menu options included vegan food. I had chicken masala, mixed salad, my husband had lentil soup and lomo which is pork chops. I also had a plate of hummus and it was oh so satisfying after our walk in from Puente la Reyna.

I highly recommend this hostel. It's very well designed and Put is the sweetest woman I've ever met. They will do your laundry for a small fee. I don't recommend the breakfast however. Just get something fresh on the way out of town.
