A breathtaking view of this fantastic area.

Possibly built in the 10th century. In the enclave of Clavijo, legend has it that the apostle Santiago, as patron saint of Spain, supported the troops of the king of León who had refused to pay homage to the Muslims of the south who demanded the famous tribute of the hundred maidens.

The town of Clavijo is located in the heart of Rioja's Tierra de Cameros, in a very broken terrain, surrounded by mountains with forests of holm oaks and oaks, Clavijo emerges, a place with a lot of legend and history. Barely 16 kilometers from Logroño, its fortress watches over from its battlements the roads that connect Castilla, Navarra and Aragón, the Leza river gorge and the Iregua and Ebro river valleys.

Spectacular views of the Leza Canyon. The space is conditioned with a bench so that visitors can observe both the mountainous relief and the flora and fauna of the place from the viewpoint.

The remains of the rocky castle of Clavijo with a wall about 85 meters long and 1.50 meters thick. This spectacular fortification is made up of four towers from which you have a wide view of all the surroundings.

A place with a natural spring and native forest frequented by mountain bikers and walkers. The water is fresh and crystal clear. It is a magical and well-preserved place.

There are the remains of the rocky castle of Clavijo where, according to tradition, the battle took place in which the Apostle Santiago appeared, riding a white horse, in support of the Christian hosts. It is accessed by going up the path that ascends to the west of the urban area. The views are very beautiful from there.

I loved visiting this castle, just above the town. A joy, even more so with the first lights.
