Agurain welcomes you quietly. It’s an old town where you drop your rucksack, shake out your legs and think: that wasn’t so bad. And it wasn’t, either.
From Altsasu you walk out of Navarra and into the Basque Country. It’s almost 22 kilometres, but the ups and downs are minor. You walk at your own pace, and with almost 6 hours you have plenty of time for a long coffee stop along the way. It’s a day for looking around, chatting and not worrying about a thing. You may well catch up for another chat with a pilgrim you met on the road. When you look back, you see green meadows, scattered farms and the mountain ridges on the horizon.
