Orreaga-Roncesvalles preserves the memory of heroic songs, ancient paths, and exhausted pilgrims on the way to Compostela. Kings who built hospitals, churches, monasteries, and chapels, innkeepers for whom welcoming strangers was and is sacred, and the love for their Holy Virgin, their brotherhood, and their pilgrims and their many crosses. Since the 10th century, Roncesvalles has been a place where pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago to Santiago de Compostela can rest after their arduous ascent. Santa María de Roncesvalles is above all a place for spirituality and pilgrimage. Pilgrim masses, pilgrimages, Brotherhood of Nuestra Señora. At the 1057m high Puerto Roncesvalles pass, Augustinians founded the Colegiata de Roncesvalles abbey in 1130. As early as 778, a battle took place here between the Franks under Charlemagne and the Basques. The warrior Roland was killed, and the Song of Roland was created.

In choosing San Salvador as the patron saint of this church, the patronage was not placed under the protection of one of the many people we venerate as blessed or saints and ask for their heavenly intercession with God. Rather, the patronage was entrusted to God himself—in the person of his incarnate Son, Jesus Christ—who is venerated here under the honorary title of "San Salvador" (Redeemer and Savior).

Even if you don't plan or have the ability to walk the entire Camino Frances, the stage that reaches Roncesvalles is a must for the beauty of the landscapes and the evocative atmosphere it offers, especially when—descending from the Ibañeta Pass—the boundless Spanish landscape suddenly opens up before your eyes in the golden light of sunset. It's a magical moment, ideally shared with other pilgrims and then enhanced with a visit to the Collegiate Church. The stamp on the Credencial is also beautiful.

It is a very pleasant straight of slides... by car... because by bike you notice them in your legs.
