Mongelos

Mongelos (Basque: Monjolose) is a former commune now part of Ainhice-Mongelos, created in 1240 and historically subject to the King of Navarre. It's about 8 km from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on the GR65. The 1240 founding date suggests this was a planned settlement, possibly established to serve increasing pilgrim traffic in the 13th century.
