About Zubiri

Zubiri is a small village in the foothills of the Navarra Pyrenees, set along the Rio Arga. The medieval Puente de la Rabia (Bridge of Rage) at the village entrance is a notable landmark, named for the legend that animals walked around it three times to be cured of rabies.

The village has several albergues (both municipal and private), cafes, a small supermarket, and a pharmacy. Services are adequate for an overnight stay.

Zubiri sits in a pleasant valley surrounded by green hills. The walking from here to Pamplona follows the Arga river valley through a series of small Navarrese villages.

Things to Do in Zubiri

History

Cross the Puente de la Rabia

The medieval "Bridge of Rabies" marks the entrance to Zubiri. Legend says that any animal led three times around the central pillar of the bridge would be cured of rabies. The bridge spans the Rio Arga and is one of the most photographed spots on the early Camino.

Relaxation

Sit by the Rio Arga

After the long descent from the Pyrenees, the riverside in Zubiri is a welcome rest spot. Find a bench or a patch of grass by the water and soak your feet. The sound of the river and the shade of the trees make this one of the simplest but most satisfying moments of the first few days.

Food & Drink

Try the Local Cider

You are in Navarra, and the local sidra (cider) is worth trying. The bars in Zubiri are simple but friendly. Order a cider with a plate of pintxos and swap stories with fellow pilgrims about the Pyrenees crossing.

Walk to Larrasoana

If you have energy left, the small village of Larrasoana is just 5 km further along the river. It has a beautifully preserved medieval bridge and a quieter atmosphere than Zubiri. A gentle afternoon walk with no significant climbs.
