Viniegra de Abajo

Few towns in La Rioja have a history as closely tied to transhumant sheep husbandry as Viniegra de Abajo. It stands in the upper valley of the Najerilla River, beneath the slopes of the Sierra de la Demanda and far from the Ebro plain more readily associated with Rioja wine. Viniegra de Abajo belongs to the historic Siete Villas district, where mountain pastures and livestock routes shaped local life for centuries. Stone houses gather along the valley floor, while the surrounding high country leads into the Demanda range. The village provides a clear sense of La Rioja’s less familiar mountain interior.
