マンサナレスデリオハのおすすめライド

The Church of the Assumption of Our Lady in Villagalijo is a Gothic church located south of the town center, in the heart of the Sierra de la Demanda. The building stands out for its medieval sobriety and its location in a mountainous setting, where small villages retain a distinctly rural character. It is a good point of interest for those visiting this border area between Burgos and La Rioja, combining historical heritage with the opportunity to follow hiking trails through the nearby mountains, such as the Dos Aguas GR-290 trail.

The Cathedral of Santo Domingo de la Calzada, also known as the Cathedral of El Salvador, is an impressive monument located in the town of Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The cathedral was built between the 12th and 13th centuries, combining Romanesque and Gothic styles. A unique feature is its free-standing tower, separated from the main body of the cathedral.

A very impressive old medieval bridge.

The perfect stop to replenish your energy after a bike ride (or walking, or skiing...) around Ezcaray

Romanesque church dating back to the 12th century on the outskirts of Valgañón, a town in the Sierra de la Demanda near Ezcaray. A great stop to get water on the way up to the top of Pradilla.

A comfortable mountain pass that connects the provinces of Burgos and La Rioja. Both sides have beautiful views, and it is worth climbing both.

With the mountain route you can go up from Fresneda, reach the Pozo Negro (durillo), and from there to the Cruz de la Demanda, returning to Fresneda by road and passing through the top of La Pradilla.

The primitive Romanesque church was built dedicated to the Savior and Saint Mary. In 1098, King Alfonso VI donated land for its construction. The cathedral was consecrated in 1106 by Bishop Don Pedro Nazar. It later became a collegiate church around 1158 and finally a cathedral after 1232. Since then, it has been the seat of the bishop of Calahorra-La Calzada. Construction of the current church began in 1158, preserving much of the old structure. In the 16th century, the right part of the transept was raised to house the tomb of Saint Dominic.
