History and what to see
A gentle descent through beech woods and Navarrese meadows. Burguete keeps the manor houses where Hemingway stayed to fish for trout; the churches of Espinal and Viscarret mark the medieval way. The stage ends in Zubiri over the Romanesque Puente de la Rabia, under which livestock was led to cure rabies, according to legend.
