No, it´s not in English. And it is, I think, in Berruguete or the next town down the mountain. I don´t remember the details, but the plaques (one is on the trail, the other is outside the church) tell about a sort of "witch craze" that swept the area in the 18th century? and cost a couple of lives before the monks at Roncesvalles spoke up against the hysteria and saved the lives of several more accused women. In 2010 the turismo had maps of a "witch route" you could drive around to local towns and see where the supposed devil worship, etc. went on. I bet you can find more info online. Maybe I will take a look myself... I remember thinking it was a pretty interesting little sidelight.
