About Navarra
Navarre is a trip full of contrasts: the Irati Forest and the source of the Urederra in the north, the semi-desert of the Bardenas Reales in the south and, in between, Pamplona, Olite Castle and Javier Castle. Roncesvalles marks the entry into Spain of the French Way of the Camino de Santiago.
