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 rolls are stone columns, usually topped with a cross, which served as the insignia of a town's jurisdiction. They also served as a pillory, that is, it was the place where the severed heads of the executed were placed. The roll of Azofra was granted by Carlos V, so that the inhabitants of Azofra had to be judged in Azofra itself.

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.
