RE: Architecture Details on the Santiago's Way- Selection # 1

in OCD4 years ago

Yes, it is the most typical and perhaps also the most beautiful to do. After the Pyrenees, you enter a very emblematic place in Navarra: Roncesvalles. There you not only have the Silo of Charlemagne, where the remains of the Carolingian army are supposed to rest and also many pilgrims who died on the Camino, but next to it you have the church of a hospital, where since the 12th century at least, there is a curious legend: 'everyone is welcome, both Christian and pagan. From Roncesvalles to Compostela, you have a whopping 790 km. But what a variety of landscapes, towns and cities to go through. A wonderful, albeit painful and tired experience. A hug and good luck in the future to do it.
