2. From Roncesvalles to Zubiri – Camino de Santiago

The second part of the Camino Frances (or the first part for many Spanish pilgrims) takes you from the village of Roncesvalles to the village of Larrasoaña. Before departing for your journey you may want to visit the Chapel of St James or the Royal Collegiate Church of Saint Mary in Roncesvalles.

This day you will cross two mountain passes: Alto de Mezquiriz and Alto de Erro before descending to the village of Zubiri and from there walk four more kilometers to Larrasoaña.

Many pilgrims opt to stop in the village of Zubiri after the tiring first day and start the next day from there.

This is especially a good option if you do not plan to visit Pamplona for longer the next day.
This map shoes the route from Roncesvalles to Zubiri. If you continue this day up to Larrasoaña please consult the next next stage.
