Short distance out of Pamplona

I am starting my Camino next April in Pamplona. I need to start out with the shortest possible distances. Where are the closest places I can stay for the first and second night? I would like to keep my distances for these two days to 10k or less per day. Doesn't need to be an albergue, hotel or casa rural or anything fine. Thanks for helping me!
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
Cuiz Menor is 5.1k and then Zariquiegui is a further 6.2k (total of 11.3k). The later has the advantage of being at the foot of the Alto de Perdon so you are fresh when starting the climb. Murazabel is then 8.7k from Zariguiegui. There is a new albergue there which looks nice and someone who stayed there last year said they enjoyed it. Obanos is a further 1.8k (about a further 4.5k if you go to visit the church at Eunate on the way), with Puerta la Reina 4.4k after Obanos. All nice places to stay.

Hola!

Al has already gave you excellent info but maybe check this site too:

There are maps with distances between places with accomodations and links to albergues (sometimes with photos) with all the info you might need. Hope that helps. Happy planning!

Ultreia!

Try looking at this online guide, Gronze.com It give a list of accommodations along all the Camino's and distances between them.

Hope this helps.

To do some planning it is helpful to have a guidebook (Ivar who runs this forum has an online store - see above) that will show the distances, and there are also plenty of apps and online websites with maps and accommodation lists.

Hi, some other pilgrims give you already great advice. The only thing I need to do is wish you well and a Buen Camino, Peter.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
Lots of websites to help you. My fave you get to by googling "camino eroski". It's in Spanish but super easy to figure out. Give it a try, I'm sure you'll find the info you are looking for. Albergure now on top of the hill where there used to only be a tiny shop would be my choice.

We stayed in Zairiquiegui, the albergue up the road on the left, not straight ahead. We had our first really fun evening there as the alberguistes put us all on the same table to eat and we all chatted in a variety of languages. I loved it!

I would suggest you walk the 12km to Zaraquiqui .
It makes the next day to Puerte la Reina enjoyable , also only 12km
Then the next day 18km to the lovely La Casa Magica in Villatuerta.
By then mate you are over the jet lag and the feet are just getting itchy.
The distances will then increase.
Have a great camino.

Not the SHORTEST out of pamplona, but not super far, and very doable, and a really nice place to stay, is Uterga....... Maybe 17 km? Certainly not a "tough" day.
