Incredibly impressive with the relatively small round arches. Like a mighty castle. They certainly had good reasons for building it like that. And it was worth it.

In Nájera they have known how to take advantage of the banks of the Najerilla river to make large green areas that cross the town and fill with life in good weather. There is grass, areas with benches, and pilgrims do not hesitate to put their tired feet in the cold water. If you need to make a stop in Nájera, this is a good place. In addition, in the town you will find shops, pharmacies and restaurants.
