Camino Photo of the Day: Cruz de Roldan

Much of the action of The Song of Roland takes place in and around Roncesvalles. This stone cross is located in the forest about 3km from the monastery. It is sometimes called “La Cruz Blanca” for the original colour of the stone, and it commemorates the spot where the Paladin Roland either died or was buried.
