We loved the town of Estella! Very welcoming ♥

At the general audience on June 21, 2006, the then Holy Father briefly summarized two biblically recorded events that describe the special position of James the Greater, the patron saint of this church, among the disciples: + "He was privileged, along with Peter and John, to participate in the hour of Jesus' agony in the Garden of Gethsemane and in the event of Jesus' Transfiguration. (...) In the first instance, James, together with the other two apostles, experiences the glory of the Lord; he sees him speaking with Moses and Elijah; he sees the splendor of divine glory shining in Jesus; in the other instance, he faces suffering and humiliation; he sees with his own eyes how the Son of God humbles himself and is obedient to the point of death. The second experience was certainly an opportunity for him to mature in faith and to correct the one-sided, triumphalist interpretation of the first experience: He had to recognize that the Messiah, awaited by the Jewish people as a triumphant leader, was in reality not only full of honor and glory. surrounded not only by suffering, but also by suffering and weakness. The glory of Christ is realized precisely on the cross, in sharing in our sufferings." (Pope Benedict XVI)

The Church of Santiago in Puente la Reina, also known as the Church of Santiago el Mayor, is a historical and architectural gem. This parish church originally dates back to the 12th century, but most of what you see today dates back to the 16th century after extensive reconstruction. One of its most striking features is the late Romanesque entrance, which was preserved during later renovations. Inside you will find a special statue, known as the Black Santiago.

This is the complete opposite of the Chapel of the Cross: here the theme is splendor and glorification. Almost too much gold, pomp...

Fields, fields, fields, mountains....The horizon moves away and the path becomes lonely.....

Impressive. A road that surely comes from Salinas de Oro and reaches the city of Andelos. Next to it there is a small rest area with tables and some shade.

This ascent is so tricky with a heavy pack, harder than crossing the Pyrenees. Loose gravel ground and super steep so you cannot push properly. Took me like 20 mins to pass. Try avoid if you are heading to Pamplona
