Since 1911, a total of 16 deaths have been linked to the Pamplona bull runs and fights.

From its construction in 1541 until the second decade of the 20th century, the mill used the power of the current to grind wheat, corn and other bread grains. Improvements in the milling process and electrification in 1896 turned it into a small flour mill and electricity supplier for Villava. The visit is free and it also has a nice bar with a garden.

Beautifully restored city gate through which all Santiago de Compostela walkers pass. Even the mechanism to open and close the gate is still there (with counterweights).

An almost authentic pilgrimage on the Frances, because this is where streams of pilgrims came to the city in the Middle Ages. One of the impressive walls of the fortified city and here you can also see the silver Bicigrino symbols embedded in the ground that lead to the exit: a great feature!

The route leads along the Arga to Pamplona and then on to Puente la Reina. In some places it is idyllic and accessible even for cyclists. The shade is a blessing...
