The balcony of the Camino de Santiago
The Sierra del Perdón is one of the most emblematic stages of the Camino de Santiago in Navarra. From Adiós, you can directly access its trails that climb through cereal fields and wind turbines to the summit, where the iconic pilgrim monument — a row of bronze silhouettes outlined against the sky — marks one of the most photographed spots on the Camino.
From the summit at 780 m altitude you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views: to the north, the Pamplona basin and the Pyrenees; to the south, the plains of the Zona Media of Navarra. The route of approximately 13.5 km offers varied terrain with stretches of holm oak and kermes oak forest, and is accessible for intermediate-level hikers.
