What You Need to Know About Stage 2
Good news! Compared to yesterday’s Pyrenees beast, today’s stretch on the Camino de Santiago is way more chill. And honestly, you probably need it after that brutal first day on your way to Roncesvalles.
Don’t get us wrong though – it’s not exactly a walk in the park. You’ll still have to tackle around 300 meters of elevation gain over 20+ kilometers on The French Way. But after yesterday? This will feel like a breeze.
Your destination today is the cute little village of Zubiri (which means „village by the bridge“ in Basque). The highlight here is definitely the beautiful Gothic bridge – super worth checking out when you arrive!

Bottom line: Stage 2 is your chance to catch your breath, find your Camino rhythm, and let those sore muscles recover a bit. Enjoy the easier pace!
Buen Camino! 🥾
