You leave past the Citadel and the university and climb the Alto del Perdón, with its wind turbines and the famous iron silhouettes of pilgrims. The way down is loose stone, so take care. Then come Uterga, Muruzábal and Obanos, where the Camino Aragonés joins, and finally Puente la Reina and its six-arched Romanesque bridge. If your legs allow, the detour to Eunate and its octagonal church is worth it.
