San Pedro de la Rúa is a beautiful historic church located in the heart of the medieval town of Estella-Lizarra, along the famous Camino de Santiago. Built in the 12th century, this church is a magnificent example of Romanesque architecture. Its most striking feature is the cloister, considered one of the richest sculptural ensembles in Navarra. The church itself is imposing and exudes a serene tranquility. Inside you will find beautiful vaults and historical works of art that reflect the rich history of the region. San Pedro de la Rúa’s location, high above the town, offers magnificent views over Estella and the surrounding landscapes.

After leaving Estella towards Los Arcos, on one of the walls of Bodegas Irache (the winery) that overlooks the Camino de Santiago, there is a fountain with two taps, one for water and the other for wine, completely free. On Saturdays and holidays or weekdays in the offices of Bodegas Irache, pilgrims can also get the souvenir stamp of the Wine Fountain on their credential in the Wine Museum. On the wineries page you can also see the live webcam from the fountain. This wine fountain has nothing to do with the tradition or history of the Camino de Santiago and although it may seem like a suggestive stop, it is purely a commercial gimmick. Attention. The wine sampling instructions are about one glass per person. I believe that each day there is a certain number of free liters... so it is not unlimited. Cheers

A curiosity on the Camino that you should take with you, but not too late in the day, otherwise you'll run out of wine :-) Stamps are available in the bodega next door! (right around the building into the courtyard)
