• Day 5 - Puente la Reina

    May 2 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

    After a hot shower and freshening up, a walk around the pretty medieval town to explore.
    Just up from my BnB was the Church of Santiago the Great, with a huge bell tower meant to guide pilgrims to Puente la Reina. It has a massive doorway and inside is ornately decorated with sculptures and lots of gold.
    I saw the Church of the Crucifix dating back to the Templars, a very simple church with a fantastic doorway and only a large crucifix inside.
    I strolled down to the iconic bridge, which pilgrims have been using for almost a thousand years.
    A nice pilgrims dinner at a local bar afterwards for only 15€ including a Russian salad, roast partridge, a baked cheese flan, and a beer.
