Calahorra: Centro De Formacion Vial Auto Escuela Calahorra
Calahorra occupies a broad stretch of the Ebro valley in La Rioja. The city stands beside the Cidacos, shortly before that river joins the Ebro, amid an irrigated plain whose orchards and vegetable fields remain central to the local economy. Known in Roman times as Calagurris, Calahorra preserves the imprint of a settlement that held strategic importance on routes through the Ebro basin. Its historic centre is marked by the Cathedral of Santa María, while the outskirts quickly give way to farmland, transport corridors and low horizons. This is a practical, working side of La Rioja, distinct from the region’s better-known wine towns.

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.

Among the regions of Spain, Rioja stands out for vineyards following the Ebro Valley beneath the Sierra de la Demanda. The autonomous community of La Rioja is compact, yet its terrain shifts from fertile river terraces and market towns to higher wooded uplands. Winegrowing is central to local life: Rioja is Spain’s best-known wine appellation, although its production zone also reaches neighbouring areas. In San Millán de la Cogolla, the monasteries of Suso and Yuso are UNESCO World Heritage sites associated with some of the earliest written evidence of the Spanish language. Logroño, on the Camino de Santiago, is the regional capital and a fine introduction to local food and wine traditions. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Rioja.

Spain extends from the Cantabrian coast to the Canary Islands, encompassing Atlantic shores, Mediterranean beaches and the broad interior Meseta. The Pyrenees form its northeastern frontier, while the Guadalquivir crosses Andalusia on its way to the Atlantic. Madrid anchors the country’s political and cultural life, but distinct regional identities are central to Spain’s character: Catalonia, the Basque Country, Galicia and Andalusia each have their own languages or strong local traditions. Granada’s Alhambra is a major monument of the medieval Nasrid dynasty, and Santiago de Compostela remains the destination of the Camino de Santiago.
