Small rest area for pilgrims between Navarrete and Ventosa. Just a shaded bench to protect from the sun.

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.

Stone bridge over the river leading to the oldest part of the town. Albergue Puerta de Nájera is to the right just after the bridge.

Nájera is a small town on the Way of St. James with a remarkable monastery. The bustling town is the district capital, but it is difficult to imagine that Nájera was once the capital of La Rioja in the Middle Ages. The historic old town lies on the western bank of the small Najerilla river, which divides the city into two unequal halves. https://reisen-nach-spanien.com/la-rioja/najera

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

Section close to Nájera. A great initiative to bring together art and nature. It's like going to a museum in the middle of the countryside. Fantastic idea. Place to walk slowly and enjoy the works and the landscape at the same time. Highly recommended.

The bridge wasn't anything special, but the combination with the mountains in the background glowing red in the sunrise... It really was something!
