The bridge at Puente Reina (The Queen´s Bridge presents a lovely image as one leaves the town. Pilgrims have crossed it for centuries.
Indeed, in the early years of the Camino the path and bridges did not exist. It was the work of men like Santo Domingo de la Calzada and San Juan de Ortega who recognized the plight of the early pilgrims, and began to create the paths and build the bridges across the rivers that we use today.
While the walking can be tiring, our pace is not so severe that it prevents one from smelling the roses.

Dear Encarnita and John,
We are so impressed with what you have accomplished and that you are up to do the second part next year!
The picture of Encarnita with the flower is gorgeous, a pure work of art as well as all the other pictures.
Thank you for sharing your story with us. It is so well documented and written. To think you know how to blog... John and I are not even there!!!...
Hope you have a great time relaxing during the remainer of your trip. And we will see you very soon back at the Donalda Gym training for your final part next year!
