As modern pilgrims journey along the Camino de Santiago, they reach Ponferrada, gateway to the final stretch to Compostela. Overlooking the town stands the Castle of the Templars, where history, legend, and faith converge. This episode explores the Templars' quiet presence around Ponferrada, a story not of great battles but of town administration, fortified outposts, and a sacred vow to protect pilgrims. It pieces together who they were, what they did, and what became of them.
