20의 산 아센시오가지 명소 & 주요 장소

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.

Beautiful view of the surroundings

Haro is the wine capital of Rioja. It is the headquarters of the regulatory council of the Rioja wine designation of origin. It has a vibrant atmosphere all year round and in its many bars and wineries you can drink good Rioja wine.

The route returns along the same path, passes the gate again and continues along the path with the green dots towards the geodesic vertex of Toloño (1,264 m), which is not the main summit, this is a cartographic landmark, the main summit is after a little hill planted in some airy and solitary cliffs. The views jump the meanders of the Ebro and reach the silhouettes of San Lorenzo, San Millán and the rest of the peaks of the Sierra de la Demanda. Moncayo appears further away, claiming some prominence in an unforgettable scene. At the foot of the Toloño, in the first valley hanging from the south face, appear the ruins of the Toloñoko Andra Mari, the ancient Monastery of Santa María del Toloño. And to the right the peaks that remain to complete the mountain journey.

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.

Almost all Rioja wineries are actually represented in Haro. So you can also taste a lot.

Haro is the wine-growing center of the Rioja Alta The only attractive thing is the quiet old town, located on a hill above the central Plaza de la Paz. In June there is the wine battle “Batalla del Vino”. The church Iglesia Santo Tomas is worth seeing. Built between the 15th and 17th centuries, it shows various architectural styles from Gothic to Baroque. The Plateresque portal is particularly impressive.
