오욘/오이온 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

A wonderful resting place for pilgrims. Further ahead, you can see the Las Cañas reservoir, an important wetland for migratory birds.

It seems an arduous walk over the hill on the approach to Logroño, but worth it for the magnificent bridge over the Río Ebro into the city

The stone bridge is one of the four bridges that cross the Ebro in Logroño. It is also called the bridge of San Juan de Ortega. The current structure was built in 1884 after the previous bridge collapsed in 1871. As one of the city's symbols, the bridge, which is used to enter the town on the Way of St. James, can also be seen on its coat of arms. https://www.spain.info/de/highlights/steinbruecke/

Rivers like the Ebro were a big challenge for pilgrims in the centuries before. That's why the Way of St. James always runs along traffic routes with bridges. The larger cities are always found where there are large bridges. The motorways and national roads now have their own paths. And that's a good thing.

Wonderful. The trucks can roar through and the pilgrims can look down calmly from above at the restless people. Nicely done!

A kilometer and a half in the direction of Logroño on a small hill called "El Castillo", which rises about two hundred meters above the Ebro River, next to the Radio Rioja station, rises the strong tower of El Cortijo. It is a small watchtower built in the 1930s on the occasion of the Carlist War, which undoubtedly takes advantage of the strategic views of its location, from which it overlooks the entire banks of the Ebro from the Sierra de Cantabria. to Moncalvillo. The tower built of ashlar follows the usual design of these constructions. With a square floor plan, it is distributed over three floors, with loophole windows, marked by impost lines. The entrance is located on the first floor about three meters above the ground on the south façade. Its state of conservation is in ruins, the roof and interior floors have collapsed and the walls have graffiti.

Nice place to visit.

Magnificent traditional entrance to the Camino De Santiago.
