You will pass through a brief section of modern rural expansion before crossing the río Iranzu by way of a double arched Romanesque bridge to enter the old town. Do pay a visit to the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción.

Food:  For lunch, check out Bar Lara.  At least one local describes the food as 'freakie good'. And for dinner Bar El Rebote. If you're just passing through and need a break or coffee, the polideportivo (sports hall at entrance to town) or the panaderia will suffice.

Fiesta

The Virgen is celebrated on the 15th of August.  The celebration of San Veremundo is held on the 8th of March.

History

As far back as Puente la Reina artifacts proving previous Roman occupations have been uncovered. In fact, much of the road between here and there, apart from the stretches obliterated by the new A-12, was originally a Roman road.

It was a hot day (late May) and I didn't want to walk all the way to Estella. This was the PERFECT place to stop. The river is perfect for soaking your feet or even swimming, while admiring the Roman bridge.
Albergue Etxeurdina was amazing. There aren't a lot of options for food, so a few of us cooked. The grocery store had everything we needed. The kitchen was perfectly stocked and there were things left by past pilgrims (oil, spices and even a bottle of wine!)
The hosts were lovely and the place had wonderful energy.

I stayed here two nights because of a bad knee. The host is super friendly and the dinner is great. Good atmosphere! There are footbaths and hammocks.
I definitely recommend this place.

Both albergues were closed because of health problems and renovations.

Walking along the road into town, I noticed a cut to a river walk below. Do take that scenic route that parallels the Caminó, and, then, rejoins it at the first albergue.

What an absolute gem. Owner is super helpful and enjoys his work. We stayed in a beautiful private room. Gave us several choices of routes to take tomorrow. Don't miss this gem.
