A pleasant riverside walk along the Arga, ending with a grand entrance into Pamplona over a medieval bridge and through the old city walls.
Paths between Larrasoaña and Zabaldika get muddy after rain. A flat riverside alternative along the Arga starts at Irotz or Trinidad de Arre. The last 4 km are urban.
Along the way
Larrasoaña
A medieval village founded for pilgrims, entered over the 'bridge of the bandits', named after the robbers who once waited for travellers there.
