This simple but atmospheric statue of Francis of Assisi stands along the Camino del Norte in Viveda. In 1214, St Francis of Assisi slept in Viveda on his pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.

Surrounded by rocks, it is a very wild and beautiful place. They say that when the water is calm you can take a nice swim, but in my case, I couldn't enjoy it, although I did enjoy its beauty.
