Wonderful view, sure-footedness and good shoes are important. Better not to go when it's raining.

This monastery complex, where Cistercians once prayed and worked day after day, even as a ruin still provides impressive evidence of the magnificent architecture. This monastic order (the order's Latin name is "Ordo Cisterciensis") takes its name from the French town of Citeaux in Burgundy, where the first monastery was founded in 1098. It is a reform branch of the Benedictines.

Even if we always use the term “St. James Way” in the singular in the German language, there is no such thing as “one”. Rather, it is a network of many Ways of St. James that runs through several European countries and then concentrates on a few main routes in Spain (the most famous is the "Camino Frances", which leads from the Pyrenees through the north of Spain). However, in order to get from the south of Spain to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, a different route is required, which JavierCR and DennisKe have already described briefly.

Leaving Granja de Moreruela you reach an important crossing of the Vía de la Plata: towards the north, Astorga and the Camino Francés; Towards the northwest, Sanabria and Ourense. In which direction are you dreaming?

Spectacular stone bridge with 9 symmetrical arches that crosses the Esla River. It was built in 1920 to connect the trade route between the Zamora regions of Tierra de Campos and Tábara. The bridge is located on the Jacobean route known as Camino Mozárabe Sanabrés, which allows pilgrims to cross into Zamora and Galicia beyond.

On the west bank of the Esla River is the site of archaeological importance of El Castillon dating from the Bronze and Iron Ages. The views from up here are spectacular. You can understand why this site was selected for a settlement.

The Quintos bridge over the Esla river is located on the road between Zamora and Galicia. It unites the Zamora regions of Tierra de Tábara and Tierra de Campos, forming a link on the Camino de Santiago Sanabrés.

A short distance from the Quintos Bridge, you are following in the footsteps of many. This section next to the Esla river is part of the Jacobean route known as the Camino Mozárabe Sanabrés. Amazing walk on the path between the rock formation and the river landscape.
