Hermitage of San Jorge y el puente de aliso Monument · San Esteban de Nogales, La Bañeza, León Image of San Esteban de Nogales, not of the place itself. The hermitage was deliberately built on the far side of the River Eria, so that the river would have to be crossed. Every year the villagers rebuild in a communal work day an alder-wood bridge that the winter floods carry off without fail.
