STAGE 3

Elizondo to Puerto de Urkiago

Start Elizondo Distance 19km Total Ascent 1100m Total Descent 400m Difficulty Easy. The waymarking is good but you will have to take care with navigation in mist as the route is complex and undefined in places. It will be muddy and slippery in wet conditions. Time 5hr 40min (8hr to Albergue Sorogain in Stage 4) High Point Collado Bustalmorro (1170m)

The traditional end of Stage 3 is at the Puerto de Urkiaga, but this road pass is without accommodation, good campsites or water! The main option for those requiring accommodation would be to continue to Albergue Sorogain, which is just over 2 hours ahead (see Stage 4). An alternative would be to use Hostal Arrobi Borda whose owners offer transport to and from the Puerto de Urkiaga.
