Medina of Pomar to Quintana de Valdivieso

This stage enters the heart of Baztán Valley. The day begins with an ascent to Otsondo port, the main difficulty of the day. Once at the top, a long and pleasant descent leads the pilgrim through the valley. The landscape is idyllic in beauty, with dense grasslands, oak and beech forests, and scattered farmhouses. The route passes by small villages with charm. The destination is Elizondo, the capital of the valley, a noble town with a rich heritage of palaces and blazoned houses, and an animated atmosphere.
