SPLIT: Alternate Route via Huarte or follow the camino

Camino de Invierno

Camino de Invierno App

Pilgrims on the road and friends along the way send me changes every day, and they go out the same day. The Camino de Invierno app carries all of it offline, and it's still being built — new features arrive routinely.

At the picnic area by the road you have a choice. The main camino continues straight ahead, climbing briefly before descending toward Trinidad de Arre and the urban approach to Pamplona.

Alternatively, you can follow the river downstream on a flat path to Huarte and Villava, then walk into Pamplona along the river. This variant avoids some road walking and is pleasant, though slightly longer. Both routes converge at Trinidad de Arre.

Don’t follow the river all the way to Pamplona

It’s nice to take the river route for the first few kilometers but check the map before or after Huarte where you can switch to the original route. There’s very few yellow arrows on the river route and it’s indeed much longer if you follow it all the way to Pamplona

Confusing

Oh man, this is a confusing road. Unless you’ve got a good GPS map and you’re using it a lot, I’d recommend the climb instead. There’s two paths on this detour, the river route to Pamplona (which is much much longer), and then a few arrows to Santiago. When you get to Huarte, there are a few yellow arrows on buildings like the rest of the path this far, then there are yellow chevrons on the ground, which I’m still not sure I should have followed, as they lease you to the center of the town. I was able to continue there to the river and follow it (along with my GPS app).
