"Then I see the big cross and the Roland chapel appearing from a bank of fog at the top of the Ibaneta Pass (1057 m). I only stop for a moment, thinking of Charlemagne ... and his faithful Roland, who with a rearguard dies was able to stop the pursuers but died in the process."
(Jo Hagen in "Buen Camino. Diary of a bicycle trip on the Way of St. James".
