Sorauren

Sorauren is a small Navarran town with great historical weight, being the last significant stop on the Baztan Way before its union with the French Way at the gates of Pamplona. The locality is famous for its medieval Gothic bridge over the Ultzama river, which has been witness to the passage of countless pilgrims.

The silhouette of Pamplona already appears on the horizon, and the excitement of imminent arrival mixes with the tranquility of this last rural outpost. The town offers basic services and a hostel, being the perfect place for the final rest and reflection before immersing oneself in the atmosphere of the French Way. It is a stop that combines the serenity of the riverine landscape with the echo of history, a perfect prelude to entering the Navarran capital.
