Stage Roncesvalles to Zubiri. 14.3 miles
Today took about 6 or so hours total. It was a beautiful overcast day with a tiny drizzle at times and nice to walk. We had a lot of rolling hills. The last several miles are called dragons teeth. It is all downhill towards the arrival in Zubiri, when you reach this strip and from the last few days of rain, the dirt was slippery mud. We all went very slow so we would not slip. We heard from other pilgrims that they had to do this portion in rain yesterday so we were blessed to have better weather.
Zubiri is a quaint beautiful town that has a famous bridge called the Rabia Bridge. When you arrive, a lot of people take off their shoes and wade in the River Agra.
The Roman style buildings date back to the 12th century. When making the bridge, the builders
decided to dig into the banks of the Arga River to give it more depth. It is said that at that time they found the remains of Saint Quiteria, protector against rabies. From that
moment on, a curious tradition arose in the village, animals were forced to pass around its central pillar to avoid rabies, because according to legend the bridge
holds this supernatural power. Just a little history I found on the Google.
