We travel northward through the Cinco Villas region of Navarra, which is considered by many to be the most beautiful region of the north. We pass through a magical thousand-year-old oak forest and through pastures where cattle and “latxa” sheep graze contentedly. The route takes us up a slowly rising, winding mountain pass that brings us to a truly idyllic landscape of green pastures, rolling hills, and picturesque white-washed Basque farm houses. From here we travel on to the town of San Esteban where we enjoy the salty hot springs spa and early dinner in a Michelin recommended country-style restaurant.

Our journey today takes us through charming Basque hamlets and villages where Hemingway went each morning to take a dip in the Irati River. He described the water here as, “clear as light.” We take a stroll along the river bank where he would go trout fishing to disconnect. We will continue on into the lush foothills of the Pyrenees, travelling close to parts of the Saint James Way until we reach Burguete, where Hemingway stayed when he came to the area for relaxation. We visit the little hotel he slept in, and even visit his actual room, which the family has kept the same all these years. We sit down to an authentic Hemingway-style lunch in the dining hall where he would eat his meals. We visit the Roncesvalles Colegiata, where most pilgrims begin their St James Way walk in Spain.
