Gothic House Gothic house from the end of the 15th century, which is notable for the enormous pointed doorway with a moulded ring and large voussoirs, on the keystone of which a quartered coat of arms is engraved, on the first and fourth floors, three bands with wolves inscribed on them, and on the second and third floors, panels. On the second floor, there are three pairs of twinned windows, with semicircular arches, with second lobed arches with balls and ogees. The wooden eaves that crown the building are notable.

Except for the short 16% ramp, getting there was super smooth and easy.

Santa María de Eunate is a Romanesque church on the Aragonese branch of the Way of St. James in Navarre. The church was built at the end of the 12th century in the Romanesque style with Mozarabic influences. The octagonal design is a reference to the Templars. There used to be a hospice here that belonged to the Order of St. John and today it is a hostel for pilgrims.

This ascent is so tricky with a heavy pack, harder than crossing the Pyrenees. Loose gravel ground and super steep so you cannot push properly. Took me like 20 mins to pass. Try avoid if you are heading to Pamplona
