The portal of the Taconera is part of the front of the Taconera, on the west flank of the Bastioned Wall of Pamplona, provincial and regional capital of Navarre.
The portal of the Taconera was built in 1666 as part of the new walled enclosure of Pamplona, representing the northwest limit of the fortifications built in this city during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

In 1906 it was dismantled on the occasion of the First Widening, to facilitate the passage of vehicles. It was kept for 97 years in a municipal warehouse, and was successfully replaced in 2002.
The portal of the Taconera was twin of the portal of San Nicolás. It was protected by the disappeared revellín de la Taconera. The tombstone he had is preserved in the gardens of Antoniutti, placed as a monument.

Pilgrim Monument at Alto del Perdón

Highlight • Monument

On the heights of the Alto del Perdon, and thus in a prominent place, is this "pilgrim train", sometimes also referred to as the "pilgrim caravan" - built in 1996 by the friends of the Way of St. James from Navarro. The figures are worked as silhouettes of rusty iron.

May 25, 2025,Pamplona - Uterga

Through the well-kept suburb with its university district to Cizur Menor. A great little park with a watering hole.
Continue uphill through the beautiful little village of Zariquiegui and up to the "Puerto del Perdon"!
Great view 👀
The last part descends steeply over rocks to the small village of Uterga with its wonderful hostel and beer garden! 🍻

May 22, 2025,1) Pamplona - Uterga ⛅️🌬🌄

So today it all began! 💪 I started my first stage at 10°C, with the prospect of rain and very dark clouds, but the weather held 🙏⛅️ and it stayed dry.

The route led about 5km through the outskirts of Pamplona until it turned into a beautiful gravel/hiking path. At first, it was leisurely, but then the 450m climb up …
