The Monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla is a place of great importance in the La Rioja region of Spain. Founded in the 6th century AD by Saint Millán, this monastery has a rich history and a special connection with the Castilian language.

The pilgrimage route repeatedly involves crossing valleys and rivers like the Rio Oja – as here at Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The bridges are sometimes relatively modern, sometimes medieval, and sometimes even older.

Crossroads in the heights: One track leads to Ezcaray. A path climbs to San Lorenzo. Another track descends to San Millán de la Cogolla. Another path disappears into the forest, with no exit. And a final track, heading south, soon forks into two: one leads to the Mansilla reservoir, and the other, also full of forks, takes us to Cruz de la Demanda. Choose your own adventure!

It crosses the Oja River, connecting different parts of the city. Built in the 12th century by Saint Dominic de la Calzada to facilitate the passage of pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. The stone bridge features several arches, a fine example of medieval engineering.

Nice climb to the Bonicaparra refuge. Riding at your own pace and enjoying the scenery is the best.

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 great view of this impressive landscape.
