Najera

The Najerilla River defines the setting of Nájera — flowing beside its old quarters below reddish sandstone cliffs, it has long shaped the town’s routes and riverside setting. On the Camino de Santiago’s French Way, Nájera developed into an important stop between Logroño and Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The Monastery of Santa María la Real, founded in 1052 by King García Sánchez III of Navarre, contains a royal pantheon and remains central to the town’s medieval identity. Nájera was also a capital of the Kingdom of Nájera-Pamplona in the 11th century. The surrounding Rioja Alta is known for its vineyards and wine tradition.
