The climb to Puerto de Meano begins. Broken asphalt, but very beautiful surroundings and very manageable.

It is a three-aisled and four-aisled Gothic church with chapels between buttresses, a triforium, and a polygonal apse covered by ribbed vaults. At the base is a 14th-century portal with three archivolts, above which stands the Virgin and Child, adored by two angels. The south portal, the tomb of Cesare Borgia, features ornamentation characteristic of Mannerism and focuses the temple's greatest interest on its external appearance.

The stone bridge is one of the four bridges that cross the Ebro in Logroño. It is also called the bridge of San Juan de Ortega. The current structure was built in 1884 after the previous bridge collapsed in 1871. As one of the city's symbols, the bridge, which is used to enter the town on the Way of St. James, can also be seen on its coat of arms. https://www.spain.info/de/highlights/steinbruecke/

I would like to point out the hostel which is within walking distance and which also has a shop where you can find many practical things for pilgrims in small packages.

Rivers like the Ebro were a big challenge for pilgrims in the centuries before. That's why the Way of St. James always runs along traffic routes with bridges. The larger cities are always found where there are large bridges. The motorways and national roads now have their own paths. And that's a good thing.

Beautiful little town with church ruins. Cafes are centrally located. Nice town hall. There were, however, structures being set up for an upcoming bull run and I didn't stay there long. You never know when bulls might storm through the streets.
