Roncesvalles: The Battle, the Legend, and the Pilgrim Stronghold

Roncesvalles is more than just a stop on the Camino de Santiago—it’s a place where history and myth intertwine. In this video, I explore the Battle of Roncesvalles (778 AD) and the legendary figure of Roland, whose tale was immortalized in the Chanson de Roland. From the historical battles against the Basques to the myth of Durendal and the Oliphant, I uncover how this valley has shaped stories for centuries. But Roncesvalles is also a timeless pilgrimage stronghold. I walk through its medieval monastery, where pilgrims have been welcomed for centuries, and reflect on how this place continues to offer refuge—just as it did in the Middle Ages, even serving 23,000 meals a day at its peak. Join me as I uncover the past and present of one of the most legendary places on the Camino. 📍 Have you walked the Camino? Would you like to visit Roncesvalles?
