Camino de Santiago Lorca to Irache Monastery
Information
We approach the valley of the River Ega to reach Estella, a city founded by Sancho Rámirez in 1090 as a borough of Franks, to attend the increasing influx of pilgrims. A city born by and for the Camino that still continues to offer the traveler all kinds of services. In the 15th century it was known as "Estella la bella" and today it continues to honor this adage: it is a Romanesque city that treasures palaces, stately homes, churches, convents, bridges and beautiful buildings that have earned it the nickname of " the Toledo of the north ".
We will finish at Mª de Irache, Pilgrims Hospital, university, war hospital and religious college. These are the different functions that the monastery has been hosting throughout history and that have made it one of the most important monumental complexes in Navarra.
