Puente Canto over the Oja River in Ezcaray, La Rioja (Spain)

Painting with bridge over the Oja River in Santo Domingo de la Calzada, La Rioja (Spain)

...in the route to Santiago de Compostela the parents went to see their unfairly hanged son and, when they came to where he was, they heard the voice of the son telling them that Santo Domingo de la Calzada had preserved his life. They were immediately to see the magistrate of the town to tell him about the miracle .Unbeliever, the magistrate replied that his son was as alive as the rooster he was about to eat. In that moment the rooster jumped from the dish and started singing. There are some famous verses about it "Santo Domingo de la Calzada where she chicken sang after being roasted".

Legend

Puente Canto over the Oja River in Ezcaray, La Rioja (Spain)

El puente dice del río:
¡quién se pudiera marchar!
y el río dice del puente:
¡quién se pudiera quedar!

From the poem El Puente

Manuel Benítez Carrasco

Puente Grande (Great Bridge) over the Iregua River in Villoslada de Cameros, La Rioja (Spain)

Ya se van los pastores

a la Extremadura,

ya se queda la sierra

triste y oscura.

Ya se van los pastores

ya se van marchando,

Más de cuatro zagalas

quedan llorando

Stone Bridge over the Ebro River in Logroño, La Rioja (Spain)

Del puente Hierro al de Piedra,

del puente Hierro al de Piedra,

al Ebro le entran temblores,

al ver a las logroñesas loco 

se vuelve de amores,
