Camping Urrobi

You’d be well advised to bring some sturdy shoes with you as you’ll most likely be wanting to hit lots of the walking trails that cross this gorgeously green and pleasant area. Start by having a look around locally, following one of the five circular trails that start from just outside the site; have a chat with staff to help you select the best one for you. Later on, set your sights a little further afield and head to the Irati forest, half an hour’s drive from the site. Many kilometres of trails for walkers and cyclists run through the second largest beech and fir forest in Europe. If your feet are complaining, there’s a riding centre just under an hour away that can fix you up with rides in and around the Foz de Arbayún canyon. Over in the Sorogain valley, 20 minutes’ drive from the site, you can follow paths that take you past some ancient dolmen and riverside routes that lead to cooling waterfalls. An hour’s walk or 10-minute drive takes you to Roncesvalles to visit the monastery that’s been a stop on the Camino de Santiago for many centuries. If you fancy a mini city break, it’s just under an hour’s drive to Pamplona, where you can visit the cathedral, fortress and old city walls before wandering the streets to seek out the best plates of pintxos (the local answer to tapas and a fab way to sample lots of tasty treats).
