“Bicigrino” is a term used on the Camino de Santiago and is a combination of the Spanish words “bici”, meaning bicycle, and “peregrino”, meaning pilgrim1. A Bicigrino is therefore a pilgrim who covers the Camino de Santiago by bicycle21. To receive a Compostela certificate, a Bicigrino must complete at least the last 200 km of a Camino route, ending in Santiago de Compostela. It is a trend that has developed in recent years, with more and more pilgrims choosing to do the Camino de Santiago by bicycle. It's a great way to experience the beautiful landscapes and historic sites along the Camino. 😊

The cathedral was consecrated in 1106 by Bishop Don Pedro Nazar. It later became a collegiate church around 1158 and finally a cathedral after 1232. Since then, it has been the seat of the bishop of Calahorra-La Calzada. Construction of the current church began in 1158, preserving much of the old structure.

Fortification located in the town of Leiva, La Rioja. It is a fortified palace with a rectangular floor plan, with a tower located at each corner. Three of the towers are octagonal, and the one on the southeast corner, considered the keep, is decagonal in plan and taller. The origin of the castle was a tower erected in 1335 by Juan Martínez de Leiva. After sinking, in 1478 the construction of the castle began. The building has undergone numerous modifications, especially from the 17th century, in which it abandoned its defensive character and became solely residential. Later, already in the 20th century, it was used as an agricultural warehouse and offices. Starting in the year 2000, a reconstruction of elements such as the southern part of the west canvas and the southeast tower began.
