Between the Queen's Bridge and Wine Landscape
The lecture starts at the point where the paths along the Camino de Santiago in Navarre converge: in Puente la Reina, a historical junction of the Camino Francés, where the Aragonese and Navarre routes meet. The place is known for its bridge, its pilgrimage tradition, and its Romanesque-Gothic buildings, thus forming a strong beginning for the further path towards Logroño.

City History to Touch
The focus is on images and impressions of a stage that shows the Camino de Santiago not only as a hiking route but as a cultural lifeline. Anyone interested in the paths of the Santiago pilgrims, historical churches, pilgrimage hostels, and the development of Spanish cities along the Camino will gain well-founded insights and vivid travel impulses on this evening. The stages between Puente la Reina and Logroño belong to that landscape where pilgrim culture, architecture, and regional heritage are particularly closely intertwined.
