Navarre is not just the entry point of the Way of St James. It's also - luckily - a land of many paths. Proof of this are the thousands of kilometres of trails, paths, rail trails and tracks, so you can get into nature and get away from it all!

A countryside that is splashed with colour. Because Navarre is a land of diversity, and each of its landscapes comes with its own particular shades. That's another thing that we're lucky about.

And listen up! Yet another good thing about our land is that there's something for all levels of experience and fitness. There are a host of options open to you, ranging from pleasant walks for all the family right up to climbing the peaks of the Pyrenees. That's to say 2,000 metres, which isn't exactly high-altitude climbing.

So, as you can see, there's no end of options. Bring your family, your partner, your group of friends or whoever you want. And, if anything, let your legs set the limits.

ANOTHER WAY OF WALKING

Nordic Walking Centres in Navarre

Nordic Walking is the in thing and it's come to Navarre to stay. But there's much more to this activity than simply walking with the aid of special poles... the Nordic Walking lifestyle is ideal for those who want to travel, yet without neglecting their health.

With the excuse of doing this really complete sport, you can discover the history and rich cultural and landscape heritage of our land.

Each centre has a number of trails of different levels of difficulty. The green and blue trails are for beginners while the red and black trails are for more experienced walkers.

  • Javier Nordic Walking Centre: enjoy Nordic walking with the Castle of Javier as the starting point and the Sierra de Leyre as the backdrop.

  • La Bizkaia Nordic Walking Centre: trails with contrasts between the Izco sierra, fields and vineyards, around the municipalities of Aibar, Sada and Leache.

  • Kaparreta Nordic Walking Centre: trails which pass through the villages of Gallipienzo and Cáseda and which cross the Kaparreta Natural Reserve.

  • Santa Ágata Nordic Walking Santa Centre: trails with history, age-old hermitages, ruins of the Roman city of Santa Criz, the villages of Lerga, Eslava and Ayesa and vineyard scenery.               

  • Tiebas-Muruarte de Reta Nordic Walking Centre: a trail to discover the ruins of the castle of Tiebas, the residence of the kings of Navarre in the 13th and 14th centuries, and the quarries of the Sierra of Alaiz. What's more, if you're up for doing the longer version of the trail, then this will take you as far the nearby villages of Guerendiaín and Unzué.

  • Imotz Nordic Walking Centre: this trail will allow you to discover the picturesque villages of Etxaleku, Zarrantz, Eraso and Oskotz. The trail passes through leafy woodlands and shares some of the sections with the Plazaola Rail Trail.

  • Arguedas Nordic Walking Centre: discover the religious buildings and palaces of this village that stands at the entrance to the Bardenas Reales Natural Park. You'll be amazed by its troglodyte caves, and don't miss the Balconico de los Moros viewpoint, offering panoramic views across the Ebro Valley.

  • Nordic Walking Centre in Azagra: offering 5 trails through Azagra and the surrounding area. You'll walk between vineyards and woodlands as far as the viewpoint. The river Ebro will accompany you along the trail, allowing you to enjoy the flora and fauna of its valley.

The Ignatian Way

This is another age-old route although perhaps not so well-known. This is a recreation of the route travelled by Ignacio de Loyola in 1522 following his spiritual conversion. The knight set out fom Azpeitia, Gipuzkoa, to reach the Catalan town of Manresa, with the intention of sailing for Jerusalem.

Well, 2 of the 27 stages forming part of the route, go through the central and southern areas of Navarre, passing through towns such as Genevilla, Lapoblación, Cortes and the monumental city of Tudela. We've mentioned it here just in case priest Ignacio gives you the inspiration to put on your walking boots, shoulder your backpack and get going!

The following links on the Navarrese stages give a brief description of what the route and the towns and villages it passes through are like, accommodation options, maps, tracks and the Wikiloc route.
