You will pass through a brief section of modern rural expansion before crossing the río Iranzu by way of a double arched Romanesque bridge to enter the old town. Do pay a visit to the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción.

Food:  For lunch, check out Bar Lara.  At least one local describes the food as 'freakie good'. And for dinner Bar El Rebote. If you're just passing through and need a break or coffee, the polideportivo (sports hall at entrance to town) or the panaderia will suffice.

Fiesta

The Virgen is celebrated on the 15th of August.  The celebration of San Veremundo is held on the 8th of March.

History

As far back as Puente la Reina artifacts proving previous Roman occupations have been uncovered. In fact, much of the road between here and there, apart from the stretches obliterated by the new A-12, was originally a Roman road.

An amazing stay and worth the stop

Camino de Sant…

Walking along the road into town, I noticed a cut to a river walk below. Do take that scenic route that parallels the Caminó, and, then, rejoins it at the first albergue.

Camino de Sant…

What an absolute gem. Owner is super helpful and enjoys his work. We stayed in a beautiful private room. Gave us several choices of routes to take tomorrow. Don't miss this gem.

This is a newer ( last 3 yrs) casa rural, it is run by Juan, and is fantastic! For 20 euro had own private double room with kitchen access with coffee/tea. Very calm area, if you need a break from the big city hostels this is it. I took a break to heal a blister and it was great! Highly recommend! It’s very near Casa Magica.
