Aurizberri, also known as Espinal, is a charming village in the region of Navarra. It is located in the municipality of Erro, in the picturesque Merindad de Sangüesa, and is part of the Auñamendi region. This village was founded in 1269 by Theobald II and is strategically located between the historic towns of Roncesvalles and Gerendiain. Aurizberri/Espinal is a popular stop for pilgrims following the Camino de Santiago, thanks to its location on the famous pilgrimage route that runs through the Pyrenees. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside known for its rich flora and fauna, including trout and a variety of mushrooms, which play an important role in the local gastronomy.

The Puerto de Laza is a small and beautiful hill that joins the valleys of Roncal (starting from Isaba) and Salazar (starting from Ochagavía) in the Navarrese Pyrenees. Both sides are very similar: a very easy start on a winding road, in perfect condition but without a hard shoulder, passing through small towns and going up the course of the respective rivers Anduña (Salazar valley) and Urbi (Roncal valley); a final stretch of 2 - 3 kms that is harder without being too much so, although there are some slopes above 10%. The Salazar valley side becomes harder when leaving behind the detour to the Larrau port. From here to the port there are 3 km with an average gradient of 7%. On the other hand, the Roncal valley side becomes harder when overcoming a bridge over the river that has been with us since we left Isaba behind. From here it is barely 2 km with an average gradient of 7%. From a landscape perspective, it is a port that I love because you can enjoy the exuberance of the vegetation of the Pyrenees, crossing narrow valleys and only with panoramic views when you reach the top, where there is a viewing point that is worth looking out at. A port that I always recommend for enjoying cycle tourism. I leave you the profile of both sides produced by the website www.cyclingcols.com --> http://www.cyclingcols.com/col/Laza

It is a typical small village in Iparralde, right next to the main town Sant-Jean-Pied-Port-de-Port. There is nothing special about it, but if you pass by it, you should enjoy it. There is a nice fountain in the centre of the village.

A remote port in the French Pyrenees with narrow roads in perfect condition where you can enjoy the beauty of the green pastures and the absolute tranquility of the place. It is an area where the weather is very changeable and you can have wonderful days or cold and rainy days in summer. It is an alternative road to the Col d'Errozate and connects with Surzai Lepoa. Without a doubt, a magical place and highly recommended.

Very charming town located in the Salazar valley, just 2 km from Ochagavía, which is a larger town maintaining the rustic and traditional charm of the towns in the Navarrese valleys. From Escaroz there is the road that connects the Salazar valley with the route that enters Spain via Roncesvalles. This road with ports and elevations is especially recommended.

It is a beautiful port and highly recommended. Starting from the Orbaitzeta weapons factory (although from Aribe the road climbs slightly), it has 2 well-differentiated sections: the first 2 km are very simple, they run next to a mountain stream and through a beech forest... truly spectacular ; The second section consists of 3 km at 9 - 10%, leaving out of the beech forest, taking a perspective of the mountain and the beauty of the port and the mountains of this part of the Pyrenees. The road is in perfect condition, with some sections on concrete, although very comfortable to ride. Once you reach Alto de Azpegui, you descend slightly and reach the border point with France, the also known Col d'Orgambide.
