Navarrete: Cerro Tedeón
Few places in La Rioja have a history as closely tied to the Camino de Santiago as Navarrete. The town stands among vineyards in the Ebro valley, beneath Cerro Tedeón, a hill that forms part of the rolling terrain west of Logroño. Navarrete is one of the Rioja settlements on the Camino Francés, the historic route across northern Spain followed by pilgrims for centuries. The parish church of Santa María de la Asunción is a landmark of the old centre, while pottery has long been an important local craft. Between Logroño and Nájera, the route crosses a working wine landscape where orderly vines, fields and low hills set the character of the town’s surroundings.

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.
