국립공원 바르데나스 레알레스 최고의 라이딩 경로

Corella is a highly recommended destination for: Lovers of Baroque art who want to enjoy perfectly preserved churches, palaces, and convents. Nature enthusiasts who enjoy walks along the river, lagoons, and riverside trails. Those who appreciate the local, authentic culture, alive in festivals and traditions. Food tourists seeking traditional dishes made with high-quality ingredients.

Fitero stands out for three main reasons: Historical and architectural heritage (its Cistercian monastery), Thermal wellness (a highly regarded spa), and Outstanding natural beauty (Bardenas Reales Natural Park and hiking and biking trails). It also boasts local cuisine and a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere, ideal for getting away from it all. If you're looking for a trip that combines culture, relaxation, and nature in an authentic setting, Fitero is a highly recommended option.

What do I recommend seeing and doing? Walk through the village and visit the Church of San Esteban, the castle ruins, and the troglodyte caves. Climb up to the Hermitage of the Virgen del Yugo to enjoy the views. Dedicate at least one day to exploring the Bardenas Reales Natural Park, either independently or with a guided tour. Personally, I would add Sendaviva (a theme park) if you're traveling with children or enjoy theme parks. Complete your visit with a birdwatching tour of the Biological Station.

Arguedas (Navarra), a charming place that transcends being a gateway to the Bardenas Reales: The town center is welcoming, ideal for strolling through its streets and discovering historic buildings such as the Town Hall and the Casa Muruzábal Palace (16th-18th centuries). Two chapels stand out: the Virgen del Yugo (Gothic-Renaissance style, 17th century, on a hill with panoramic views) and the Hermitage of San Miguel (16th century).

The Alfaro Abbey Palace is the city's most prominent civil building, constructed in the 18th century according to plans by Ventura Rodríguez to serve as the abbot's residence and as a storage facility for wine tithes. Following the confiscation of church property in 1855, it passed into the hands of the State and today houses the Cultural Center and several municipal offices.

The Collegiate Church of San Miguel Arcángel is one of the most imposing churches in La Rioja, easily recognizable by its enormous brick façade and twin towers. Its interior houses numerous chapels and a remarkable Renaissance choir, making a visit a comprehensive journey through different artistic styles. Furthermore, its roof is home to the largest colony of white storks in the world on a single building, a unique feature that makes it even more worthwhile to visit.

Unbelievable! 100 storks nest on the cathedral!

Stay on the "white" / gravel path from komoot (the one used by cars), and you won't be stuck in the mud mid-season.
