IT HAPPENED 579 YEARS AGO TODAY.
I just love this story and I think about it most days.
It is over a year ago since I walked the Camino Francis and I discovered this little gem whilst walking through Hospital de Orbigo.
On the 10th July - 9th August 1434 on the Puente de Orbigo a 'tournament of honourable passage' commenced.
For all of the pilgrims over the years, who have already walked through Hospital de Orbigo; you will be familiar with this lovely story. For all of the pilgrims who have yet to walk through this town and across the bridge, I will not spoil the story for you but give you the opportunity of looking forward to seeing it for yourselves.
So, Don Suero de Quinones – knight from Leon and the beautiful Dona Leonar de Tobar, I salute you! Or at least I will have a glass of wine in your memory.
Oh to be young again. To have been a knight and to seek the love of that one special lady.
I just love how human nature never changes.
Charlie.
