San Millán de la Cogolla Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

The complex formed by the monasteries of Suso (high) and Yuso (low) was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997. Its value lies not only in its architectural heritage, with its Gothic cloister or royal sarcophagi, but also in its cultural heritage by housing the codex where a monk wrote the first words in Spanish.

The first monastery dates back to the 11th century, but the complex and the entire town have evolved over the centuries until reaching the splendor and atmosphere that they offer today.

Anguiano

Highlight • Settlement

Beautiful Rioja town nestled in the gorge of the Najerilla River and governed by imposing sandstone cliffs. It consists of several neighborhoods distributed on both sides of the ravine and joined by the imposing bridge of Madre de Dios, which rises 30 meters above the stream with a single arch with a span of 12 meters.

Anguiano is also known for its noble houses, buildings built in masonry and ashlar masonry with the coats of arms of the influential families that inhabited them. The oldest folk festival in La Rioja, the stilt dance, is also celebrated here. Eight young people from the town walk down a cobbled slope on 50-centimeter stilts and dressed in wide skirts that swell with the circular dance downhill.
