Camino de Santiago and more...
To the North of the Pyrenees, the three main European routes of the Camino de Santiago (Turonensis, Lemovicensis and Podiensis) join in the close French village of Ostabat, and they continue towards Luzaide/Valcarlos, a beautiful border village.
The Route arrives at the Pass of Roncesvalles (Puerto de Ibañeta in Spanish), where there is the new hermitage of San Salvador and the monument to Roldan. This monolith commemorates the battle of Roncesvaux Pass, where Charlemagne's troops were defeated by the Baques in 778.
The descent of the Pass of Roncesvalles leads to the Collegiate church of Orreaga-Roncesvalles. Following the Route, we arrive at our village,Auritz/Burguete. And if we continue towards Pamplona, we will explore Aurizberri/Espinal and other villages in which we can see the impressive "caserones" (typical houses) and several bridges, such as the one of Zubiri, the capital of the Valley of Esteríbar.
To the East of Orreaga, there is the Valley of Aézkoa, with 15 hórreos (raised granaries), and the magnificent forest of Selva de Irati, the second largest and best-preserved beech forest in Europe. There are many paths and a route which goes around the reservoir of Irabia. And to the west, we find the Valley of Sorogain, with green meadows, beech forests and megaliths. If we continue towards the west, we arrive at "Quinto Real", a beech forest, bordering with the Pyrenean Valleys of Baztan, Erro, Esteríbar and Alduides.
