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.

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