Stage Aire-sur-l'Adour - Arzacq-Arraziguet

This is a long and demanding stage that ventures into the heart of French Basque Country. The route is a continuous up and down through green hills and charming villages. Arrival in Ostabat is a very special moment, as here three of the major Jacobean routes from France converge. It's a melting pot of pilgrims, a prelude to crossing the Pyrenees. It's a day of great beauty and effort, which rewards with a symbolic end.
