Civilians

The hospital that one sees before the bridge was probably a leper-house transformed into an imposing factory, " Magnésitas de Navarra " , a magnesite factory.

At the entry of Zubiri, a medieval work with the powerful stem crosses Rio Arga. It was called el puente rabia, because, one, an animal said which passed three times below, cured rage. For certain pilgrims, it was also the bridge of the paradise, perhaps because of the laughing aspect of the valley of Rio Arga, I' Esteribar, which one will follow until Pampelune, and which one will find in Puente Reina.
