Pamplona, Balcón de los Biutres

My day today.
Bus ride to Pamplona, dropped backpack off, bus to Irurtzun, did the Balcón de los Viutres six km loop, which was rough in 34C degree heat.

A great first day, even if a bit hot (34C). After leaving the Pamplona suburbs, mostly a Via Verde or farm tracks.

Laurie ReynoldsOh, I am SO happy to see this! Congrats to you. It is surely one of the most beautiful and challenging days I’ve ever experienced. I will search for your wikiloc tracks to see how you came from Uharte-Arakil, because as you know I did an out and back from Arbizu, and I think your idea is much better. (so long as there is no kilómetro vertical).
Pablo SetmeravellesSo apparently this sends, not starts a new line. So I think the entire thing is vertical…I can’t imagine how much more vertical km is that how I went up. When I saw the bifurcation, I was like what? I thought I missed it and had just done it! Out and back from Arbizu also must have been just as rough. But we made it!
Arbizu-Lacuntza Circular
2025年9月21日, スペイン ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Almost a zero day to recover after yesterday’s adventure and avoid potential torrential rain. I did make it out to walk to Lakuntza and then back via the official Camino. Arbizu impressed me.

Pablo SetmeravellesI know! Definitely the toughest one I’ve climbed, and I have climbed Puigcampada in Alicante (maybe a detour on the Alba (I think) variant from Benidorm? Not that you would want to tackle that one :)

I very much wanted to see this dolmen. Since I repeated the tunnel loop, I didn’t go past it and I was bummed. And then once I was in Salvatierra, there were no cabs to take me out. Next time!
Pablo SetmeravellesThere were a few churches (no idea If Romanesque) too (in the towns). The dolmen was really cool! It isn’t too far to walk back to depending which route you take to Salvatierra. I’m tempted to do a 8 km to see another and just train into Vitoria since I did that etapa in 2023 (complete with Estíbaliz), but I probably will just stick to the half stage since I have a lot to do tomorrow afternoon. RocJumper’s track has a lot of deviation from the standard Camino, which was a plus.

Laurie ReynoldsI agree, it’s a beautiful stage. Where did you stay? We were in a hotel, a pretty big one, but we were the only people in the whole place. The owner went to great lengths to let us stay there, we were very appreciative..
Pablo SetmeravellesHotel Sester, same as you I think as it’s the same deal. It’s a bit creepy being here alone, but a beautiful place.

Laurie ReynoldsIf you’re not afraid of heights, consider the tirolina. It goes across the gorge. I had made up my mind that I was going to do it when I was not going to be afraid, and then when we got there, I was really bummed to find out that it was closed. It must be truly exhilarating.
Pablo SetmeravellesI don’t think I could do it, even if I had time. The pasarela to the Parador freaked me out a bit…and that’s just a bridge! I did think of you when I saw the sign for it!
