Sakana Way: Lakuntza-Ziordia

Its history dates back to the 1st century when the Roman road named “Iter XXXIV” connecting Bordeaux (France) with Astorga (León - Spain) was built. The use of this route gradually declined in later centuries until, in the 11th century, king Sancho el Mayor (the Great) restructured the route of the pilgrims to Santiago and changed its routing through Navarre. The French Way, the most popular route today, became the main route to Santiago, while the Sakana Way fell into disuse.

Over the last few years, the Sakana Way, also known as the “Forgotten Way” or the “Asturias Way”, has been restored, maintaining its original path.

If you need to stay the night along the way, you have a choice of hotels, campsites, country holiday homes and apartments and also take theopportunity to taste the superb local cuisine.
