Plaza de Badarán

Highlight • Settlement

The perfect prelude to Sierra de la Demanda, San Millán de la Cogolla and Rioja wine. Badarán is a small agricultural enclave dedicated to viticulture and viniculture since, in addition to having vineyards around it, it houses several wineries that sell all kinds of wines directly to the public.

San Millán de la Cogolla Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

The complex formed by the monasteries of Suso (high) and Yuso (low) was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997. Its value lies not only in its architectural heritage, with its Gothic cloister or royal sarcophagi, but also in its cultural heritage by housing the codex where a monk wrote the first words in Spanish.

The first monastery dates back to the 11th century, but the complex and the entire town have evolved over the centuries until reaching the splendor and atmosphere that they offer today.

Refugio Prao Tajo

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This refuge is located at the end of the paved track that goes up the Cárdenas river valley from San Millán de la Cogolla. The shelter has two rooms, one of them having a fireplace and a table.

It is a usual starting point for the ascent to the San Lorenzo peak, summit of the Sierra de la Demanda and the highest point in La Rioja.

Mostajo of the Cárdenas River

Highlight • Natural Monument

This mostajo or rowan is located a few meters from a path that runs through the Sierra de la Demanda. Rowans are small trees that rarely reach fifteen meters in height. However, this is a rowan tree to be highlighted, probably one of the largest known specimens from the Peninsula and surely one of the longest-lived.

Road Through Farmlands

Highlight • Cycleway

Going through the territory through these almost abandoned roads is what gives meaning to the adventure, it is the reason why we want to get lost. On these roads you can pedal at your preferred pace and enjoy the incredible scenery without traffic.

Monastery of Santa María de San Salvador

Highlight • Religious Site

This monastery, whose construction began in the 12th century, is the first female Cistercian community to settle in the Iberian Peninsula. The complex was not completed until the 20th century itself, when the rooms where the nuns live today were built. Its architectural evolution gives it traces of Romanesque, Gothic and Neoclassical styles that make it a very unique complex.

It is located a short distance from San Millán de la Cogolla and framed in what is now known as the route of the monasteries in La Rioja.
