9 - In the Camino there are towers's by jorgesanchez

Mombuey - Spain This tower, built like a fortress, was erected by the Templars to protect the adjacent church from the bandits. The Templars, at first accompanied the bishops from France to Santiago to guard them from the beasts and the many thieves along the Camino. With the time they constructed a net of shelters and hospitals to help the pilgrims. Today, only in Manjarin, there is a true Templar, called Tomas, a very original man dressed with a cloak depicting the cross of the Order, and handling a Templar sword, who rules a shelter for pilgrims, and every night makes especial ceremonies evoking his ancestors, with mysterious potions that he offers to the pilgrims to drink in an old cup pouring smoke.
