Guide to the Middle Zone
The Middle Zone of Navarra is a broad sweep of rolling hills and gullies with fields of cereal crops and vines that make up a land of transition between the Navarra Pyrenees to the north and the Riverside Zone (Ebro valley area) to the south. The region comprises two historic merindades (counties) which each have similar bioclimatic characteristics. To the east lies the so-called Middle Eastern Navarra, and to the west are the lands of Estella, the main towns being Tafalla and Estella
Crossing the Middle Area from east to west is the Pilgrim's Way to Compostela, lined by small towns and sights that form a trail of great monumental and historical significance. However, the region's interest by no means ends with the Pilgrims' Way, as there are many places of great importance in the history of the Kingdom of Navarra, and others of medieval origin that were built as defence against the Muslims and Castilians.
Fortifications and sturdy Romanesque and Gothic churches still stand, while numerous palaces and blazoned manor houses are to be found. The area is bordered to the north by the southerly range of the Pyrenees Mountains and is crossed by the main tributaries of the River Ebro: the Ega, the Arga and the Aragon. The region is connected by road from Pamplona, Zaragoza and Jaca and has a complex network of local roads, providing quick access by car to anywhere you may wish to visit.
