We left this morning over the 1000 year old Roman bridge Puente de Reina or Bridge of the Queen. The bridge spans the river Aga in the town of the same name.

After a long arduous climb out of Puente de Reina and 7 1/2 k’s later we were rewarded by Cirauqui, a well preserved Medieval town.

We walked today on a section of the best preserved Román Road on the Camino. It passed an ancient olive grove, some of the trees said to be 500 years old.

And a sign at the Roman road…

Is that all…

Masseuse Dave offered to use his massage skills to loosen up my tight calf muscles so I didn’t pass on that. I’m hoping now for a repeat performance.
