The Sanctuary of the Virgin of Codés is located at the foot of the mountain range. It is a splendid 16th-century building built on the remains of a hermitage. The Baroque tower dates from the 18th century. The holy water fountain is next to the arcades, and there is also a guesthouse and gardens for relaxing and passing the time. The route climbs to the left of the building to a parking lot where signs and signs display the hiking trails. The path continues along the GR-1 long-distance trail, the Historical Trail, to Santa Cruz de Campezo, on the Álava side of the mountain range. The path is quite steep through a tunnel of oak trees, some of which are centuries old and stand out in a disturbing way against the dense forest.

Exterior of the monastery of Santa María de Iratxe. If you can, visit the interior as well.

A curious and well-known wine fountain. I was able to confirm that it is true that wine is produced, but its quality is not the best.

After leaving Estella towards Los Arcos, on one of the walls of Bodegas Irache (the winery) that overlooks the Camino de Santiago, there is a fountain with two taps, one for water and the other for wine, completely free. On Saturdays and holidays or weekdays in the offices of Bodegas Irache, pilgrims can also get the souvenir stamp of the Wine Fountain on their credential in the Wine Museum. On the wineries page you can also see the live webcam from the fountain. This wine fountain has nothing to do with the tradition or history of the Camino de Santiago and although it may seem like a suggestive stop, it is purely a commercial gimmick. Attention. The wine sampling instructions are about one glass per person. I believe that each day there is a certain number of free liters... so it is not unlimited. Cheers

Small town, one of the highest in Navarre, on the slopes of the Peña de Lapoblación, also known as León Dormido.

A curiosity on the Camino that you should take with you, but not too late in the day, otherwise you'll run out of wine :-) Stamps are available in the bodega next door! (right around the building into the courtyard)
