Calahorra straddles the lower Cidacos River in eastern La Rioja, and its setting near the Ebro has linked the town to routes through the river valley since antiquity. Roman Calagurris was an important settlement, and the first-century teacher of rhetoric Quintilian was born here. The historic centre includes the Cathedral of Santa María, while the Museum of Romanisation presents finds from the town’s Roman past. Fertile land along the Ebro also shapes Calahorra’s vegetable-focused cooking, celebrated during the annual Jornadas Gastronómicas de la Verdura.
