オーリッツ/ブルグエテのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

In choosing San Salvador as the patron saint of this church, the patronage was not placed under the protection of one of the many people we venerate as blessed or saints and ask for their heavenly intercession with God. Rather, the patronage was entrusted to God himself—in the person of his incarnate Son, Jesus Christ—who is venerated here under the honorary title of "San Salvador" (Redeemer and Savior).

Anyone who would like to have the church illuminated can switch on the lights for 8 minutes for a 1 € coin.

Roncesvalles, also known as Orreaga in Basque, is a small town in the region of Navarra, northern Spain. It is best known for the legendary Battle of Roncesvalles in 778, where Charlemagne's rearguard was defeated. This historical and spiritual site is also an important starting point for the Camino de Santiago, the famous pilgrimage route to the tomb of Saint James in Galicia. In Roncesvalles you can admire the impressive Gothic collegiate church of Santa María de Roncesvalles, where the image of the Virgin of Orreaga is venerated. Other places of interest include the Church of Santiago, the Chapel of the Holy Spirit and the Museum-Treasury, where you can see relics, paintings and sculptures from different periods.

The monastery complex is an impressive building and worth a visit. There are also two cafés, a hotel and the pilgrims' hostel.

A wonderful place where you should definitely spend the night to have time to absorb the atmosphere and experience the pilgrim mass. Time stands still here, one of the spiritual hotspots of the Camino.
