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.

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.
