Obanos is just 20 kilometres from Pamplona. The small village lies on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. Pilgrims pass through the village from Somport or Roncesvalles.
Mystery of Obanos, a legend whose origins date back to the Middle Ages.
The sanctuary Nuestra Señora de Arnotegui is worth a special mention, where the legend of the Mystery of San Guillén and Santa Felicia has its origins.
In the 14th century, Princess Felicia of the court of Aquitaine went on a pilgrimage. After her Camino de Santiago, she chose not the throne but a life of silence and service.
Her brother Guillermo tried to persuade her to return. When she refused, driven by her vocation, he killed her - blinded by honour and anger.
According to legend, all kinds of miracles happened around Felicia's grave. Guillermo, consumed by guilt, walked himself to Santiago and spent the rest of his life as a hermit, comforting and helping along the Camino.
To this day, they are both revered.
A story of vocation, guilt and redemption, rooted in the heart of the Camino.
