The English pilgrimage through the Sigüeiro crossing

Historical milestone · Oroso, Ordes, A Coruña

Image of Oroso, not of the place itself.

In the late Middle Ages, pilgrims who arrived by sea at Galician ports crossed the Tambre via the Puente de Sigüeiro, a 14th-century stone bridge remodeled in the 15th, on their final leg towards Compostela, which made Oroso an obligatory stop on the English Way.
