The initial segment of the Camino Francés might not be the lengthiest, and for many hikers, a 25-kilometer day may not seem overly challenging. However, what elevates the difficulty of this stage is the terrain's elevation.
Simple stage with few slopes, through gently undulating territory. The itinerary basically runs along agricultural tracks (unfortunately some have been paved), and the vineyards give way to cereal crops. In 2013, the construction of the Rioja Alta Golf urbanization was authorized, in the historical trace of the Camino de Santiago.
