Rest area for pilgrims leaving Pamplona, in the town of Cendea de Galar. There are tables and benches, and a roof for shelter from the sun or rain. There is no water fountain.

The church of the Order of Malta. Looks like a knight's castle. Inside the church there are also several knight's flags. Nice view back to Pamplona

The centre of the ''Plaza do Castillo'' has been occupied since 28 June 1943 by an 18-metre-high bandstand raised on a stepped drum and whose dome is supported by Ionic columns. Previously, there was a wooden one that replaced the Beneficencia fountain in 1910, the work of Luis Paret, known in Pamplona as "La Mariblanca", which currently adorns the city's Taconera gardens.

Saint Lawrence (San Lorenzo), to whom this church is dedicated, is one of the early Christian martyrs from a time when Christianity was still forbidden. He was the Pope's archdeacon and was asked by the pagan emperor Valerian to hand over the church's treasure. Lawrence asked for three days, during which he distributed the church's wealth among the poor inhabitants of Rome and, after the agreed time, came to the emperor with the poor to present them to him as the church's treasure. He was then tortured to death. Legend has it that he was roasted alive on a gridiron - this attribute can be seen in many depictions of Saint Lawrence - over coals. He is said to have been in good spirits and to have asked his executioner if he would like to turn him over. The memorial day of San Lorenzo/Saint Lawrence in the calendar of saints is August 10th.
