Tunnel route
from Irun
to Santo Domingo de la Calzada

You are still following the Rio Oria Valley, but as you get further up the valley the industry becomes less, there is still a fair amount of road walking but again often on newly constructed paths alongside or close to the original route. Again a good choice of lunch breaks and also Excellent Pilgrim friendly accommodation available at Segura.
