European Crossword Puzzle #13
This is the 12th thread of the European Crossword Travel/Geography/Culture game. It is a continuation of this thread:
http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...2&tid=34547306
Here are the rules of the game (for new comers) [I've just pasted the rules from the start of the previous thread.]:
1) Whoever guesses the word correctly gets to build on THAT word to make the new word. In cases of multiple correct answers, whoever posts first is the winner and gets to choose the next word.
2) Make sure all the words are travel related somehow. Your word could be a person, a place, an event, an object.
3) State what letter you're building on from the previous word.
4) State the position of that letter in your new word.
5) State how many letters in the new word.
6) Give us a good clue!
7) Again, all words should be travel-related.
LVSue will give the clue shortly.

A natural geographical feature, the (5,2,5) shares the first part of its name with a hunky actor's last name (5,5) and the last part of its name begins the name of a great engineering feat, which we might go to see (5,4,6).
Sorry if this is too optuse. Let me know.

Sorry! Thank goodness there is a letter from Lars von Trier in the geographical feature!
4th letter in the first word (5-2-5) is the T in Trier. For that matter, the 4th letter in the last word is too.

Here we are:
This medieval French citadel [2,4,2,4; 3rd letter of last word is “r” from Firth] was, and still is, a launching point for a pilgrimage to this holy city [8,2,10; 2nd letter of last word is “o” from Forth]
The gate of Spain: This epic hero [6; 3rd letter is “l” from Colin] of legend and verse lost his life at this [12; 4th letter is “c” from Colin]
Legend has it that these European mountains, visible far out to sea, were named by sailors returning from the Atlantic. [4,2,6; 3rd letter of last word “r” from bridge ]
So EASY ....
