Irurzu, Lekunberri, Leitza, Andoain
You have to enjoy Pamplona, its streets, its castle and its gastronomy the day before you start pedaling. Here you will receive the bicycles if you have rented them. Today is the day to relax and prepare to travel the Plazaola Greenway by bicycle.
We will start pedaling towards the exit of the capital of Navarra. Under the watchful eye of Mount San Cristóbal, we will get closer to the beginning of the Greenway. We will travel its first kilometers gently ascending to the old Lekunberri train station.
The second stage is fascinating. As soon as we start pedaling, leaving the old station behind, we will suddenly enter a beautiful landscape. Green slopes, forests and valleys will accompany us to the end of the Vía Verde. In its more than 40 tunnels you have to bundle up, and we will have to set foot on the ground at the mandatory detours to save the closed tunnels, but it will be worth it.
When we arrive in Andoain, we will pedal along rural roads and bicycle lanes until the capital of Guipuzcoa.
