The small town is worth the short detour from the signposted route.

It is a three-aisled and four-aisled Gothic church with chapels between buttresses, a triforium, and a polygonal apse covered by ribbed vaults. At the base is a 14th-century portal with three archivolts, above which stands the Virgin and Child, adored by two angels. The south portal, the tomb of Cesare Borgia, features ornamentation characteristic of Mannerism and focuses the temple's greatest interest on its external appearance.

A wonderful resting place for pilgrims. Further ahead, you can see the Las Cañas reservoir, an important wetland for migratory birds.

After leaving Estella towards Los Arcos, on one of the walls of Bodegas Irache (the winery) that overlooks the Camino de Santiago, there is a fountain with two taps, one for water and the other for wine, completely free. On Saturdays and holidays or weekdays in the offices of Bodegas Irache, pilgrims can also get the souvenir stamp of the Wine Fountain on their credential in the Wine Museum. On the wineries page you can also see the live webcam from the fountain. This wine fountain has nothing to do with the tradition or history of the Camino de Santiago and although it may seem like a suggestive stop, it is purely a commercial gimmick. Attention. The wine sampling instructions are about one glass per person. I believe that each day there is a certain number of free liters... so it is not unlimited. Cheers
