  • This stage is not a difficult one and will mostly follow the body of the N-240 road.

    There is an alternative route that will lead you to the San Juan de la Peña Monastery. This is a beautiful alternative, but it increases the camino by over 13 kilometers and it is not an easy walk, although the path is well marked.

    If you walk the official route, the most interesting sight for today will be Arrés, a pretty village with a Gothic fortress and a nice baroque church.
