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.

The Castillo fortaleza de San Vicente de la Sonsierra is an impressive medieval castle that rises above the River Ebro. It was built in the 12th century by the Kingdom of Navarre to defend its border with Castile. It was part of a defense line connecting Laguardia and Labastida, and was the largest fortress in Navarre on the Ebro. The castle has a semi-circular shape that adapts to the rock on which it stands. It consists of three walled areas: the albacar, where the houses of the old town stood, the cortijo, where the parish church, the chapel of San Juan and the cemetery are, and the castle itself, with the keep and the bell tower. The castle lost its military importance after the annexation of Navarre by Castile in 1512, and was later used as a quarry and rubbish dump. In the 20th century, people began to realize its historical and artistic value, and several restoration projects were carried out. The castle is now a monument of cultural interest and a tourist attraction

The panoramic view of the Rioja is wonderful. Below you can also see a medieval bridge over the Ebro.

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.

In Nájera they have known how to take advantage of the banks of the Najerilla river to make large green areas that cross the town and fill with life in good weather.

In addition, in the town you will find shops, pharmacies and restaurants.

A hill (poyo) that has its own legend: in the castle of Nájera lived Farragut or Ferragut, a Syrian giant descended from Goliath and stronger than him. He fought and defeated Charlemagne's best warriors, except for Roland, who one day from the pillar saw the giant sitting at the door of his castle. Roland picked up a round stone that weighed two arrobas and threw it in the direction of the giant, hitting him in the forehead, causing him to fall to the ground. Since then the hill has been called Podium or Poyo de Roldán.

This monastery, whose construction began in the 12th century, is the first female Cistercian community to settle in the Iberian Peninsula. The complex was not completed until the 20th century itself, when the rooms where the nuns live today were built. Its architectural evolution gives it traces of Romanesque, Gothic and Neoclassical styles that make it a very unique complex. It is located a short distance from San Millán de la Cogolla and framed in what is now known as the route of the monasteries in La Rioja.
