Puente la Reina - Iglesia del Crucifijo

Puente la Reina - Iglesia del Crucifijo
I reached Puente la Reina. This is the portal of the Iglesia del Crucifijo, once erected outside of the town and belonging to a convent of the Knights Hospitaller. Successors of the knights still exists under the name "Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta". During medieval times the Knights Hospitaller supported the pilgrims by operating "hopitals". Even today pilgrims may stay here a night.

In Puente la Reina the "Camino Aragonés" joins the "Camino Francés", which is the busiest of all caminos. So there are hundreds of beds in different hostels in town. As this was the very last day of my walk - I choose a hotel.
