    Legend: In the center of the bridge was a niche containing the stone carving of the Virgen del Puy, known as Txori and currently in the Church of Santiago. It is said that every day a little bird
    visited her, cleaned her with his beak and avoided any accident. But on the day the statue was moved, a man died when he fell off the bridge.

      "The valley progresses at a fast pace and after another hour I reach Puente la Reina, the town named after the bridge that the Queen Dona Major built in the 11th century. Here the Navarese and Aragonese Ways of St. James meet. The Jacob's pilgrims needed a safe way to cross the Argo river... With the bridge, the pilgrims no longer had to put up with long detours. And with the bridge, merchants and traders settled. The town of the same name came into being."

            Puente la Reina is an important crossroads, where the two routes of the French Way meet: the one entering through Roncesvalles and the one entering through Somport. This makes it one of the cities with the largest
            Compostela spirit in Navarre. The main street is lined with interesting
            monuments erected as a reflection of the strength gained thanks to the passage of thousands and thousands of pilgrims over a millennium. Mayorazgo houses, churches, monasteries, two medieval bridges and interesting gastronomic proposals are the great attractions this historic enclave has to offer.

              Very nice place on the Camino Frances. The pilgrimage route goes right through this place. Here you can experience a bit of the way of life of the people who live there. However, as a cyclist you should push through the town.

                Romanesque bridge over the river Arga. Built around the 11th century, it gives its name to the town where it was built. The French Way and the Aragonese Way converge here, joining at this point on their way to Santiago de Compostela.

                  As a combined pilgrimage route (Aragonese route and the Navarre route), the calle Mayor at the end of the town leads over what is probably the most photographed bridge on the Way of St. James. The Romanesque building with six round arches leads over the river Arga and is both the landmark and the place's name. Built in the 11th century to allow pilgrims to cross the river, as they still do today

                          The bridge in Puente de la Reina is a real highlight on the Camino. Crossing this medieval bridge is a real highlight. Walking across it is something you simply have to do.
