A gentle stage along the Arga valley, among pines and hamlets, entering Pamplona over the Magdalena bridge and through the city walls. Larrasoaña and Trinidad de Arre make good stops. The way into the city, through the Portal de Francia, is one of the loveliest on the Camino. Pamplona has everything: a good place to buy what you are missing or to look after your first blisters.
