Hay un par de iglesias en la ciudad que son dignas de echar un vistazo. Son la Iglesia del Crucifijo (con un crucifijo bastante distinto) y la Iglesia de Santiago (con su Santiago negro). La mejor vista del puente antiguo es desde el puente nuevo.

Fiesta

Puenta la Reina celebra Santiago como su patrón, del 24 al 30 de julio. También tienen algunos festivales de cosecha en septiembre, incluido uno que celebra los pimientos rojos que se cultivan en las colinas entre aquí y Eunate.

History

El nombre de esta ciudad se atribuye románticamente al benefactor del puente sobre el río Arga. Es un sentimiento agradable, pero no del todo preciso. De hecho, los historiadores discuten sobre qué reina del siglo XI lo hizo construir. Una cosa es segura, el bandidaje siguió presentando un problema a la creciente ciudad, y en el siglo XIII se construyó un muro para protegerla.

Era de forma rectilínea y no era mucho más grande que la ciudad actual, y queda poco:

1. Calle Cerco, siendo 'cerco' la palabra para pared. De las 26 torres originales, la mayoría se han convertido en parte de casas privadas, el mejor ejemplo visible es la piedra dentro del Hotel Cerco.

2. La puerta de la ciudad que se abre al puente. De las 4 puertas originales, es la única que queda.

The Road

El camino sale de Puente la Reina pasando por su puente homónimo. Desde allí gira a la izquierda, cruza la carretera principal y sigue un sendero. En breve, comienza un ascenso corto pero empinado en un terreno resbaladizo cuando húmedo. No es raro encontrar ciclistas empujando su equipo hacia arriba.

A great stay with a clean private room for my mother and I. The ceiling fan was a nice touch for a warmer night, and the restaurant downstairs served food all day. Highly recommend.

Had THE BEST experience here. Stayed in August. Very friendly staff, they have a massage service and it was perfect for the sore muscles at this stage. The breakfast has boiled eggs and oatmeal and yogurt (and other things) to nourish you. There is a terrace, washing machine and also hand washing and plenty of places to hang out your washing. There is a common room also. For this price point this is a very good establishment, clean, well run and highly recommended. Thank you.

Small but very Pilgrim-relevant shop with a good range of gear.

Beautiful walking through the village. Lots of stores if you need stuff. Great restaurant choices. Loved my Albergue (Estrella)and the bridge.

The Albergue is clean, nice green space to hang out after a long walk. The dining room and kitchen were packed with people preparing their meal. There was a short wait for the showers upon arrival. At €9 each it is a deal.

Had the best meal of the Camino tonight at La Plaza. Food was great, wine was great, prices were reasonable.

Great price for private rooms in this centrally located Albergue, plus a kitchen, terrace with hammocks and cheap laundry washing. Recommend rooms 6 & 7 to have your own terrace.

 I had a double room all by myself because no one else booked. I had a private bathroom because so few people there. I absolutely loved it. Also had a great balcony just off my room so I was able to dry my clothes on the line on my balcony. The only problem was the following morning. I was not able to send my Pack with Jacotrans because the bar was closed so I had to carry it on next morning. So if you plan to stay here, just make different arrangements to transport your bag if that’s what you wanted to do.
