An old variant of the Ignaciano

Between Sarassa and Sarasate I followed a disused railway line. It went through excavated hill, followed by a viaduct. Even then, the walls of the hill were crumbling down and the viaduct had big holes in the structure.
Later I learned that Camino Ignaciano used to follow this railway but was then rerouted for safety reasons.
Unless repairs have been done since, I imagine it is impassable now.

Of course!

I am NOT doubting you but that seems quite a long way from the Camino Ignaciano! It doesn’t pass through Pamplona, but Logroño quite a bit to the west.

The first day out of Loyola takes in quite a long series of railway tunnels and viaducts, but they are in pristine condition. It’s a well maintained ruta verde. There is motion sensitive lighting in the tunnels.
 
I know. I remember it because I thought it weird. It was gr 20/21/sth. Perhaps a branch going to Javier? It was on a map of hiking trails around pamplona which I procured from its tourist office.

Very interesting. I wonder is there an account of setting up the [now Camino Ignaciano] route. It’s only about 20 years old (in one sense). The guide by Father Jose Luis doesn’t give much detail - but surely he would know!

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

I have learned that this is called “link rot.” Seems to be a huge phenomenon. Wikipedia has links to a lot of studies that have tried to quantify it. All of those links are currently active.

p.s. I have moved the Ignaciano discussion out of Paulo’s Viejo thread and created a separate Ignaciano thread to keep things easier to follow.
