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.

good climb to reach this beautiful town

Nice place for a coffee stop

Statue erected in 1897 in memory of the heroes who resisted the Carlist army of Zumalacárregui. http://cenicero.org/arte/escultura-y-pintura/la-estatua-de-la-libertad-1897/

Super cool architecture of the very famous Bodegas "Baigorri". Most of it is underground down the hill, only the entrance is visible above as a glass cubature. Tastings, tours and lunch are offered and are highly recommended: https://bodegasbaigorri.com/en/visit-the-winery/

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

Nice place to take some photos. Spectacular views of the Ebro valley and the vineyards of La Rioja. There are also tables, chairs, plenty, covered area... it's very good.
