Munitibar
Camino del Norte
Munitibar sits in the green heart of the Basque interior, and the locals — who will volunteer their opinion whether or not you ask — consider it the very center of the Basque Country. It has that feeling too: a compact village square, a church, a frontón, and the hills closing in on all sides.
The village has a bar and basic services. Old trading routes once passed through here, carrying wool and wine from Logroño to the coast and hauling fish back on the return trip — a reminder that these interior valleys were always connected to the wider world.
January: San Vicente on the 22nd. June: San Pedro on the 29th. July: San Cristobal on the 10th. September: Nuestra Señora de Gerrikaitz on the 8th.

After crossing the main square in Munitibar, the camino turns left at the church to follow the main road out of town, though only for a short distance. Less than 50m beyond the river it turns left up a side road, climbing up to and beyond the Ermita de Santiago. From the ermita it descends towards Olabe.
