Estella -Logroño (51.1 km)
Most cyclists doing the Camino choose to follow the N111a to the turnoff near Oyón. This is fine if you don’t mindclimbing and re-climbing over and over again. Our route, though a little longer, gives your legs a break by bringingyou closer to the Ebro River, using an irrigation path that runs parallel to the river. If it’s been raining, or the river ishigh, however, take the N134 to the A13 turnoff; it’s got a lot more traffic, but a wide shoulder.
