Urban trail along the banks of the Arga river as it passes through the Pamplona region. The River Trail is more than 24 km long, of which 5 km is proposed to be done, going out along a stretch of the Camino de Santiago. Besides the river and its ecosystem, you will pass by the productive orchards that supply the local market and will get to know landmarks of the Jacobean route such as the Magdalena Bridge and Cross, the parks of La Nogalera and Erripagaina and its viewpoint, and the old bridge of Burlada or the walkways of the Arga.
START: Burlada / Burlata, San Juan Square. Parking and fountain. After 100 meters towards the river, you reach La Nogalera Park and the wide route of the river walk. Continue towards the river, passing the old bridge of Burlada and, after crossing an underground passage (km 1.1), join the Camino de Santiago until reaching the Magdalena bridge and cross (km 2.6; services and fountain), at the foot of the walled city of Pamplona. Return along the riverbank, leaving the Arga walkways on the right. After crossing the old bridge of Burlada, and 100 meters before finishing the route (km 6.0), there is an option to turn right and climb to the Erripagaina Park and viewpoint, next to the old water reservoir that supplied Burlada. Return by the same path to the start.
Author’s recommendation
Route without specific signposting, part of the outbound coincides with the Camino de Santiago and the return with the River Walk.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
