빌라부에나 데 알라바/에스쿠에르나가 최고의 라이딩 경로

One of the toughest, if not the toughest, mountain passes in Álava. Cantabrian Mountains. Natural border with La Rioja.

Alava mountains. Road from Lagran with good climbs, shade and good asphalt.

Stone Bridge. One of four bridges in Logroño that cross the Ebro River. It is also called the Bridge of San Juan de Ortega. The current structure was built in 1884 after the collapse of the previous bridge in 1871.

From here you can see the ruins of the Mantible bridge, probably medieval (not Roman) that once connected El Cortijo with Assa. Only two arches remain standing, one of them recently rebuilt as it collapsed during the pandemic.

The stone bridge is one of the four bridges that cross the Ebro in Logroño. It is also called the bridge of San Juan de Ortega. The current structure was built in 1884 after the previous bridge collapsed in 1871. As one of the city's symbols, the bridge, which is used to enter the town on the Way of St. James, can also be seen on its coat of arms. https://www.spain.info/de/highlights/steinbruecke/

Rivers like the Ebro were a big challenge for pilgrims in the centuries before. That's why the Way of St. James always runs along traffic routes with bridges. The larger cities are always found where there are large bridges. The motorways and national roads now have their own paths. And that's a good thing.

Especially beautiful in autumn

Navarrete is one of the key points of the Camino de Santiago in La Rioja. A good place to get water and continue the route.
