ACCOMMODATION/FOOD.- In the Youth Hostel Oncineda - Monasterio
de Irache street, s/n - Estella (Navarra).
Direction team will be formed by qualified staff for the specific
task of the camp.
LOCATION.- Estella is located 45 km. from Pamplona, on the
Santiago Pilgrimage Route.
The Tierra Estella landscape alternates vineyards, irrigated and
unirigated lands with an easy accesible mountain range and peaks.
In the shadow of the Road to Santiago, various Romanesque
monasteries and hermitages appeared, which makes the area rich in
artistic content. In Estella, San Pedro de la Ra (Cistercian
style), the Palace of the Kings of Navarre (today the Gustavo de
Maeztu Museum), the Closter of Santo Domingo, or the Eunate
Church confirm this.
Continuing the route towards La Rioja we encounter the
magnificent Irache Monastery, in Ayegui, and half way there, in
Los Arcos, announced by its 16th century tower, the Church of
Santa Mara. We go through Torres del Ro, with its singular Holy
Sepulchre and soon we arrive at the monumental town of Viana.
Full of history, this town offers us works such as the baroque
Town Hall of the Church of Santa Mara, with its gothic and
renaissance faade. The changeable and irregular nature of Tierra
Estella boasts exuberant plantlife, in numvol such as Riezu,
known as the place that houses the source of the river Ubagua. We
can also choose to walk through oak, holm oak or gall oak trees
in Valealln, Zudaire, Eulate or the impressive Aguilar de Cods
mountain range.
