ウルニュエラ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

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.

Beautiful view of the surroundings

View of the unique and extravagant hotel of the Winery & Bodegas Marques de Riscal. The hotel itself can only be visited as a guest or very briefly on a guided tour with tasting

A hotel designed by Guggenheim Museum architect Gehry. Very beautiful modern building in otherwise medieval architecture.

Spectacular hotel created by Frank Gehry, the same architect as the Gugenheim Museum in Bilbao and a similar construction technique.

Designed by Frank Gehry, the Hotel Viña Marqués de Riscal has become an icon of the region. It's not cheap, but if you can afford a stay it should be worth it. I heard that the guided tour of the building and the cellars is impressive.

The rolls are stone columns, usually topped with a cross, which served as the insignia of a town's jurisdiction. They also served as a pillory, that is, it was the place where the severed heads of the executed were placed. The roll of Azofra was granted by Carlos V, so that the inhabitants of Azofra had to be judged in Azofra itself.

The guardaviñas are small stone huts used by farmers as shelter. As is the case, they are usually circular constructions that taper at the top using the "false dome" technique: raising successive rows of stones in increasingly narrow concentric circles. This shack is located in Poyo Roldán (Alesón, La Rioja) in a small rest area next to the Camino de Santiago. Legend has it that the battle between Roland, nephew of Emperor Charlemagne, and the giant Ferragut, from Syria, took place here.
