Tips from the Community
Reaching this abandoned village requires you to do some steep climbing. The ruins are fascinating. You'll find the remains of houses, a church, and even the town fountain. Not all of the ruins are accessible but you can enter as if you were walking into town. I recommend proceeding with caution, I don't think anyone is keeping track of the state of the ruins. I poked my head into one of the ruined houses and found it full of cow bones. Definitely a creepy spot but one worth visiting if you're willing to make the climb.

Possibly built in the 10th century. In the enclave of Clavijo, legend has it that the apostle Santiago, as patron saint of Spain, supported the troops of the king of León who had refused to pay homage to the Muslims of the south who demanded the famous tribute of the hundred maidens.

It is located in the Leza Valley, between Leza on the Leza River and Soto en Cameros. Fairly quiet road and very busy with cyclists throughout the year. Sitting and watching the flight of the vultures in the canyon is a privilege.

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.

Many of the towns and villages in the Camero Viejo region still preserve their meadows today. Long ago, the pastures were very important for these rural areas where cattle were the main source of wealth. Unfortunately, today only a few have been well preserved to walk inside. Luckily, the San Román pasture meets that requirement and exploring it is a delight.

This ascent by paved road is 2.4 kilometers long, from the exit of the town of Albelda de Iregua to the crossroads called Los Cuatro Caminos, from where you can continue up to Clavijo, or take the royal glen to La Unión. It is a tough climb, with an average percentage of 9.3%.

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

The town of Clavijo is located in the heart of Rioja's Tierra de Cameros, in a very broken terrain, surrounded by mountains with forests of holm oaks and oaks, Clavijo emerges, a place with a lot of legend and history. Barely 16 kilometers from Logroño, its fortress watches over from its battlements the roads that connect Castilla, Navarra and Aragón, the Leza river gorge and the Iregua and Ebro river valleys.
