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.

Nájera is a small town on the Way of St. James with a remarkable monastery. The bustling town is the district capital, but it is difficult to imagine that Nájera was once the capital of La Rioja in the Middle Ages. The historic old town lies on the western bank of the small Najerilla river, which divides the city into two unequal halves. https://reisen-nach-spanien.com/la-rioja/najera
