Routes

The Ignatian Way is a pilgrimage route that follows the route followed by Saint Ignatius of Loyola in 1522 from his home town of Azpeitia, in Guipúzcoa, to the Catalan city of Manresa. On its way through La Rioja the route passes through our village where pilgrims can find the municipal hostel ‘Servando Argaiz ’ to spend the night.

The tomb of the Apostle St. James in Compostela has been the destination of pilgrims from all over the world since the Middle Ages.

Undoubtedly, the most traditionally rooted route is the French Way. But to reach it, pilgrims had to follow other secondary routes, such as the Jacobean Route of the Ebro. Pilgrims from the Mediterranean consolidated this route along the Ebro from Tortosa to Gandesa, Caspe, Zaragoza, Tudela, Alfaro and Calahorra to Logroño. It is really the Roman road that for more than two thousand years has linked Tarraco with Astorga, a historic communications axis that reveals to the traveller the lands and people of Catalonia, Aragon, Navarre and La Rioja.

ITINERARY

Agoncillo - Arrúbal - San Martín de Berberana - Hermitage of Aradón - Alcanadre

DESCRIPTION

The Nature Trail follows the banks of the river until it reaches a water treatment plant, where it turns off among orchards to climb to Arrúbal, located on a promontory. It then descends again to the riverbank, although further on, after passing a new water treatment plant, the path ends and it is necessary to climb again to a higher plain and make a big bend to take the path to Alcanadre. After passing through the San Martín de Berberana estate, the route returns to the Ebro, in front of the Urzagal wood and the Aradón cliffs, where you walk through a thick riparian forest and pass under the Nuestra Señora de Aradón hermitage, to reach the Alcanadre plain, the end of the stage.
