From a crossroads in the wind farm to Jalón de Cameros, you can enjoy views of the valley and pine trees while enjoying a fast and exciting descent.

Torremuña is a town that had only 13 inhabitants in 2011. It is crowned by the church of Santa María La Blanca, which is in ruins. In ancient times, the town prospered thanks to the production of cereals, legumes and wool yarn. Little by little it became depopulated and in 1971 three Spanish-Flemish tables from the 16th century were stolen from its church.

Small village of Camero Viejo, belonging to the municipality of San Román de Cameros. It is worth visiting, it is a very short detour from the Leza Valley road.

Small town in the Cameros region on the slopes of the Leza valley. Impressive views due to its altitude.

A small ruined village. It is currently uninhabited although it was of great importance since it had factories of coarse cloth, yarn and cloths that supplied Soto. It is located on a hill between the ravines of Santa María and Hayedo at a height of a thousand meters.

San Román is the ideal base for any activity in the Leza Valley. It is the largest town in Camero Viejo and the one with the most services. Although there is only one bar/restaurant, Montereal, it is always open and you can taste typical Rioja dishes. Its municipal term covers several towns and its paths are very well preserved. The houses around the church and the church itself are very well preserved. There are hardly any modern structures and a walk through its streets takes you back in time and to the traditional Rioja popular architecture.

In the 18th century, it is known that Torremuña produced cereals, legumes and wool yarn, in addition to having huge pastures. The church of Santa María la Blanca had its splendor in the 12th century when it was acquired by the bishops of Calahorra. Depopulation was reducing the town and in 1971 three Spanish-Flemish panels from the 16th century were stolen from its church. The last census of 2010 registered 10 inhabitants, the times that I have passed through the town recently I have only found an elderly couple who are amazed to see a group pass by by bike, we always stop to contemplate the ruins of the church and the views of the valley of Leza.

This section through the Torremuña ravine is very characteristic. The path overlooks the stream passing over huge plates of strata discovered by erosion. The entire path alternates between shades of gray, ocher or orange layers. It does not have much of a slope but there are some small steps and the route alternates between the plates of the strata and the sediment accumulated over time.
