History and what to see
From Cizur Menor you climb to the Alto del Perdón, with its iron pilgrim silhouettes and the inscription “where the way of the wind crosses the way of the stars”. The stony descent leads to Uterga, Muruzábal (detour to the octagonal chapel of Eunate) and Obanos, then Puente la Reina, where the French and Aragonese routes merge and the Romanesque bridge crosses the Arga.
