Camino Stage 1 - St Jean-Pied-de-Port to Logrono Map and Itinerary

ST JEAN-PIED-DE-PORT TO LOGRONO

Your journey starts in St Jean Pied de Port, which straddles the French and Spanish border, crossing the Pyrenees your first day will undoubably be the toughest day of the whole Camino.  The steep climb up to Roncesvalles is demanding but will be graced with stunning views all around.  Leaving Roncesvalles you cross mountain passes through beech and oak woods alongside the River Arga. The high mountains and deep valleys of the Pyrenees soon give way to the undulating plain that surrounds the fortress town of Pamplona. 

As you approach Pamplona the landscape changes and becomes urban but upon leaving you will  notice the change in flora and fauna. The route to Estella passes through olive trees and small towns, and from Villamayor de Monjardin to Los Arcos you will walk 12km without passing a town or village.  As you approach Logrono, the regional capital, you cross into the well know wine growing region of the Rioja. Logrono is a large town today of 120,000 but owes it's development to the camino and the old town is laid out along the line of the Camino.
