After having walked almost 120km along The Portuguese Way of Saint James from Valença do Minho in Portugal to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, I wanted to visit some villages of The French Way of Saint James. As we were going to La Rioja and Navarra some weeks later, we visited some of these villages and towns (but this time we went from one town to the next one by car):
- Estella-Lizarra
- Los Arcos
- Logroño
- Nájera
- Santo Domingo de la Calzada
I really liked the Jacobean atmosphere of these towns and the fantastic churches, cathedrals and monasteries I could visit there.
Next I would like to show you some pictures of the places I like the most of these towns.
Estella-Lizarra
The Camino de Santiago enters the town of Estella by Curtidores Street. At the end of this street appears the Palace of the Kings of Navarra
