The Romanesque bridge of Puente la Reina is one of the most interesting examples of civil architecture on the Pilgrims' Way to Santiago in Navarre. It marks the convergence of the two routes - the 'Jacobean' one via Roncesvalles, and the Toulouse-Somport route. It is a meeting point for pilgrims who, over the centuries, have woven thousands of stories and legends. The waters of the river Arga that flow beneath the stunning arcade of the ancient bridge whisper the most amazing stories to travellers, who let themselves be enchanted by their murmuring. You just need to listen carefully and you'll be able to hear the colourful legend of the txori.
