A hill (poyo) that has its own legend: in the castle of Nájera lived Farragut or Ferragut, a Syrian giant descended from Goliath and stronger than him. He fought and defeated Charlemagne's best warriors, except for Roland, who one day from the pillar saw the giant sitting at the door of his castle. Roland picked up a round stone that weighed two arrobas and threw it in the direction of the giant, hitting him in the forehead, causing him to fall to the ground. Since then the hill has been called Podium or Poyo de Roldán.

A hill that has its own legend: in the castle of Nájera lived Farragut or Ferragut, a Syrian giant descended from Goliath and stronger than him, who fought and defeated the best warriors of Charlemagne except Roldán, who one day from the poyo spotted the giant sitting at the door of his castle. Roldán picked up a round stone weighing two arrobas (~22kg) and threw it in the direction of the giant, whom he hit in the forehead, knocking him down. Since then the hill has been called Poyo de Roldán.The stone hut is likely a traditional stone vineyard shelter.
