Different routes that can be done in the area without the need for GPS. I came across the new signs at junctions that mark different options. Very useful if you want to improvise a bit.

The Church of San Francisco houses the Museum of Processional Floats, a perfect place to learn about Holy Week in Calahorra through 14 processional floats of great artistic value. In the former Chapel of the Vera Cruz, the Monte Sacro stands out, a detailed tableau with 70 figures depicting the life and passion of Christ. The Baroque building, located in the highest and oldest part of the city, offers a peaceful and interesting visit, ideal to combine with a stroll through the historic center.

Beautiful reservoir that is located near the town of Calahorra and that is a few kilometers from this town. It is a beautiful wetland area to take a lap in the waters of this reservoir.

Walk with some not very hard ascents and surrounded by holm oaks and holm oaks. Beautiful views as we gain height.

A wonderful site, both for the castle itself (you can climb a few steps in the keep) and for its location, dominating the view of the town of the same name.

Fortress built in the year 1470 formed by a rectangular keep and three heights. The castle stands on a hill about 100 meters high, with privileged views of the surroundings, where it was possible to monitor and communicate with other fortresses. It is intuited that, at first, the space was a Roman settlement that only had a watchtower, but that later, and during the Muslim domination, the castle was built.

December 22, 2022, Ruins of Turruncún

Turruncún is an abandoned town located in the Sierra de Préjano, in the Rioja Baja region. The coal mines were the great economic engine of the town during the 20th century, when the municipality reached about 300 inhabitants. When the mines were closed, the town slowly decreased until it was completely abandoned. The ruined village was annexed to the municipality of Arnedo in 1975. Today you can still see the church and an old school, as well as the walls of some of the houses.
