Services

Murozabal is a small farming village of about 250 people in the Valdizarbe valley, notable mainly as the access point for the Church of Eunate. A bar on the main road provides basic refreshment. The village has a few examples of the traditional Navarrese stone houses with their carved escutcheons, and the Iglesia de San Esteban — a Gothic church with a three-arched portico — sits at the center.

If you're planning to visit Eunate, the detour begins here. It's about 1.5 km south off the camino. You can rejoin the main route by continuing from Eunate directly to Obanos, making it a loop rather than an out-and-back. The detour adds perhaps 2 km total to the day, and it's flat walking on farm tracks.

History:

The Iglesia de San Esteban dates from the Gothic period with later Baroque additions. The village also has a Baroque palace that has been converted into a winery — the Palacio de Murozabal. The area has been cultivated since Roman times, and the valley's agricultural character is evident in every direction.

The Camino:

From Murozabal the camino continues on flat terrain toward Obanos, about 2 km ahead. If you're taking the Eunate variant, turn south at the edge of the village — the path to the church is signed and easy to follow across open fields. From Eunate, another path leads directly to Obanos without returning to the main route.
