Viguera is best known in La Rioja for giving its name to the 10th-century Kingdom of Viguera, a short-lived realm tied to the Pamplona monarchy. The village lies in the Iregua valley, where the river passes between the foothills of the Sierra de Cameros before continuing north toward Logroño. This is a markedly inland face of La Rioja: steep terrain and small settlements replace the broad Ebro plain associated with the region’s wine country. Viguera forms part of the Camero Nuevo area, whose mountain roads and valleys provide a counterpoint to the vineyards and larger towns farther north.
