Small wooden foot bridge crossing the Río Yalde

A hill that has its own legend: in the castle of Nájera lived Farragut or Ferragut, a Syrian giant descended from Goliath and stronger than him, who fought and defeated the best warriors of Charlemagne except Roldán, who one day from the poyo spotted the giant sitting at the door of his castle. Roldán picked up a round stone weighing two arrobas (~22kg) and threw it in the direction of the giant, whom he hit in the forehead, knocking him down. Since then the hill has been called Poyo de Roldán.The stone hut is likely a traditional stone vineyard shelter.

On the 8th stage of the Camino Francés from Logroño to Najéra, the Camino crosses this wooden bridge about 3 km before Najéra.

Beautiful view of the surroundings

Awesome, more km every day! 👍👍

The guardaviñas are small stone huts used by farmers as shelter. As is the case, they are usually circular constructions that taper at the top using the "false dome" technique: raising successive rows of stones in increasingly narrow concentric circles. This shack is located in Poyo Roldán (Alesón, La Rioja) in a small rest area next to the Camino de Santiago. Legend has it that the battle between Roland, nephew of Emperor Charlemagne, and the giant Ferragut, from Syria, took place here.

Over the Yalde river we find a small wooden bridge surrounded by trees. The Camino de Santiago crosses it between the towns of Nájera and Ventosa.

In Nájera they have known how to take advantage of the banks of the Najerilla river to make large green areas that cross the town and fill with life in good weather. There is grass, areas with benches, and pilgrims do not hesitate to put their tired feet in the cold water. If you need to make a stop in Nájera, this is a good place. In addition, in the town you will find shops, pharmacies and restaurants.
