Aguilar del Rio Alhama

The Alhama River defines the setting of Aguilar del Río Alhama, cutting through a dry, rugged valley in southeastern La Rioja and shaping a settlement gathered beneath its hillside castle. The town stands close to the borders of Navarra and Aragón, in transitional country between the Ebro basin and the Iberian System. Above its older streets are the remains of a medieval castle, recalling Aguilar’s former strategic role on a frontier. Nearby, at Inestrillas, the archaeological site of Contrebia Leucade preserves rock-cut streets, houses and defensive works from a Celtiberian settlement later occupied in Roman times.
