Collegiate Church and Monastery of Roncesvalles

Highlight • Religious Site

The monastery of Roncesvalles is one of the first important pilgrimage sites on the Camino Francés after crossing the Pyrenees. Pilgrims can also find accommodation here for the night in a monastic atmosphere - an experience not to be missed on the Camino.

Ibañeta Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

At the Ibañeta Pass (1057 meters above sea level) it ends the steep slope that from the French town of Saint Jean Pied de Port crosses the Spanish border and the Pyrenees, for the first leg of the Camino Francés to Santiago de Compostela.
At Arneguy, it begins a foot-path that climbs in the woods: as it is quite bumpy and challenging, in case of bad weather it is advisable to choose the route for bicycle, on asphalt.
After the pass, sloping down for nearly 2 kilometres, there is the village of Roncesvalles.

Ibañeta Pass and the Roland Monument

Highlight • Mountain Pass

In the 11th century, the monastery of San Salvador is said to have stood here at the top of the pass, on the foundations of which a small chapel was built in the 1960s. A little further up the hill is the Roland Monument, which commemorates the Battle of Roncesvalles by the Basques against the French army under Charlemagne on August 15, 778. Above all, the panoramic view from up there is really breathtakingly beautiful!

Roncesvalles

Highlight • Settlement

Roncesvalles is a town with only 22 neighbors and, nevertheless, it is one of the most important points on the French Camino de Santiago.

For many centuries the life of this small town revolves around the coming and going of pilgrims. Which explains the majesty of its Pilgrims Hospital and the entire set of the Collegiate Church of Santa María.

Of course, it has a hostel for pilgrims and an inn. Also a hotel and a hostel, so there are accommodation options for all tastes.

If you need to stop for something to eat, the inn and the hotels have a bar-restaurant.

You will find a fountain at the exit of the town if you follow the road bike route, just after the inn.
