Today was a long walking day. The Way included passing over a bridge with a story. Located in Hospital de Orbitz, and built by the Romans, it became known as the "Paso Honoroso" in the 15th Century. A knight refused in marriage, decided to defend his honor when faced with this slight by defending it against any knight attempting to cross. After a month of success, he declared his honor restored.
I also like the Gaudi building here in Astorga. It was built as a residence for a bishop but never used. Astorga is also considered the official end of the meseta and I enter new terrain tomorrow.
