Parked in the Motorhome Aire, which was free and excellent. We walked up into the town up to the Parador Hotel (Calatrava castle) which is open to non residents for drinks. We then walked the town. All done in 2 hours with time for a drink

The castle itself has an interesting history. However, it has been partially rebuilt in dubious taste to accommodate a parador. Great panoramic views.

Castillo de Monzón

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Great climb up the ramp and stunning views of the region from the top! It was great to imagine the castle throughout time. We visited in summer of 2023 and had great weather and guided experience
Eric M — Google review
Absolutely worth the visit! Castillo de Monzón is a stunning and atmospheric fortress with incredible history, especially tied to the Knights Templar. The views from the hilltop are breathtaking, and the castle itself is impressively preserved. One of the most fascinating parts is that this was once a major Templar stronghold and even the childhood home of King James I of Aragon, who was trained here by the Templars. Walking through the ancient dormitories, chapel, and towers really gives you a sense of how powerful and mysterious this place must have been in its prime. We spent a couple of hours exploring and could’ve stayed even longer. The interpretive center is very informative, and the atmosphere is unique—especially for anyone interested in medieval history, castles, or the legend of the Templars. Highly recommended, especially if you can visit during the annual Homenaje Templario festival. A hidden gem in Aragón that truly brings history to life.

Great weekend at the MotoGP!! Be warned though there is zero shade and no water available only to purchase …organisers should do more
Richard O — Google review
It is one of the best places to watch the race from on this track. You can see the first turn melee and entrance into the second turn. Higher seats grant a visibility (brief) of back straight while lower seats bring you quite close to the action. Would chose these seats again although be warned that there is no sun protection whatsoever and sun pretty vicious there.

Bodega Sommos

Winery
Food & Drink
Bodega Sommos is a top-notch winery known for its modern and innovative approach. Visitors can enjoy a comprehensive tour of the facility, including a video presentation about the winery and a 3-wine tasting experience led by knowledgeable guides. The staff at the shop are attentive and offer helpful recommendations, allowing guests to sample wines before making a purchase. The winery's industrial and automated setup sets it apart, offering a unique concept in wine production.
This place was amazing. If you can, try to book something with Pablo, what great customer service and knowledgeable about the winery. I wish we were staying longer in the region. I would 150% go back. Side note the winery is beautiful as well!
Jay P — Google review
Restaurant has a great potential but unfortunately it is not there yet. We ordered a tasting menu and all the plates were well served. It starts with a delicious hummus along with some mussels and salmon. It follows with mediocre arroz con calamar which was also fine. But the rest was disappointing. Salmon was not tasty and the sauce couldnt save it. It continued with lamb shoulder which was bland and also weird in a seafood heavy tasting menu. In general tasting menu didn’t have harmony which makes you to switch from white wine to red in the middle. Desserts were also nothing special. Wine could have tasted better if the menu was considered part of it. Wineyard is huge and the ambience is really good. Staff was really pleasant and friendly. They can make the experience much better if they reconsider their menu as a whole.
Yasin T — Google review
A cool experience- My partner and I love wine and decided to visit the Sommos Winery! It’s on the top 10 list of the most modern and innovative wineries in the world and we wanted to check it out! The experience was great! We paid €10 each and got a tour of the space, a video speaking about their winery and a 3-wine tasting (total of 90 minutes). Our tour guide (Lidia) was amazing and so charismatic! She made this experience a wonderful one! Have to say, was a bit disappointed with the wine. I was expecting a phenomenal wine however I wasn’t impressed with any of the 3 we tasted. Were hoping to take a bottle home but didn’t, in the end. Would still recommend the experience for wine enthusiasts!

The girl at the shop was really super attentive and helpful. You can try the wines before buying, and they seem to know what they talk about, which is not always the case. The domain itself looks really nice. And they were opened on the 1st of November when all the others were closed.

We were able to stop in without a reservation and do “tasting”/ order glasses of wine to try. We loved the Sauvignon and Tempranillo, and our sommelier was very knowledgeable about wine, the surrounding area, and Spain. Thanks for having us!
Sarah H — Google review
Excellent visit. Very attentive english speaking guide, generously served various samples in addition to the offer of 4 wine tasting for 10 eur as our conversation about their wines evolved. Tasted mostly whites, excellent Sauv. Blanc in particular, but also interesting Grenache Blanc, Chardonnay. Great Cab. Sauv. as well. The vinification happens 27 meters underground and grape pressing is non mechanical. Great mix of evolving tradition and respecting the culture.

Visited with two children, ages 8 and 10, who also enjoyed the visit. Our guide, Raquel, was excellent. (Original) Visita OBLIGADA para todas las personas, niños, adolescentes y adultos.

(Translated by Google) We went to visit the old town of Belchite and we can only highly recommend it. Know the entire history of the place, how it affected the actions of both sides during the war, how the new town emerged, etc. It has been very interesting. Best of all, the guide, Raquel, and her companions are from the place and give testimonies of the people who lived there and who they know, stories of people still alive, events that still take place and their fight to keep the place standing to be able to continue telling what happened there. (Original) Fuimos a hacer la visita al pueblo viejo de Belchite y no podemos más que recomendarlo muchísimo. Conocer toda la historia del lugar, cómo afectó la acción de ambos bandos durante la guerra, cómo surgió el pueblo nuevo, etc. ha sido muy interesante. Lo mejor de todo que la guía, Raquel, y sus compañeras son del lugar y dan testimonios de la gente que vivió allí y que conocen, historias de personas aún vivas, eventos que aún se realizan y su lucha por mantener en pie el lugar para poder seguir contando lo acontecido ahí.

(Translated by Google) We've been here twice. The first time was for the daytime visit, which focused on the story of everything we've experienced. The second time was for the nighttime visit, so we could experience the other, more mysterious side of it all. Unfortunately, it was an extremely large group; there were many children and adults who weren't behaving properly, which prevented us from enjoying the experience, but we'll definitely be back. Both times we were with Raquel, and she was delightful. Thank you so much for the experience. (Original) Hemos venido dos veces, la primera fue a la visita diurna, en la que se centra en la historia de todo lo vivido, la segunda, para la nocturna, y poder intentar sentir el otro lado, el más misterioso de todo esto. Desgraciadamente era un grupo extremadamente grande, había muchos niños y gente adulta que no se comportaba como debía y eso nos impidió poder disfrutar de todo aquello, pero volveremos seguro. Ambas veces nos tocó con Raquel y fue encantadora, muchas gracias por la experiencia.

Cathedral of the Savior of Zaragoza

Mentioned on 
11 lists 
Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Cathedral of the Savior of Zaragoza, also known as La Seo, is a stunning architectural marvel that combines Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles. Situated on Plaza de la Seo, it holds historical significance as it was built on the site of one of the first mosques during Moorish rule in Aragon. Over the centuries, it has undergone various renovations and additions reflecting Mudejar, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque influences.
This is a magnificent and stunning piece of architecture and art, no less than any other churches of this style, with the choir in the centre, but it is far less crowded and expensive as in other more popular cities in Spain. No long queues to enter, no booking in advance, and one can stroll leisurely and admire every detail. I am so glad that I stop by Zaragoza.
Connie W — Google review
The Catedral del Salvador de Zaragoza, commonly known as La Seo, is an absolute masterpiece that genuinely captivated me. While many visitors flock to the more famous Basílica del Pilar, overlooking La Seo would be a grave mistake. This magnificent temple boasts stunning architecture, with its intricate domes, numerous chapels, and breathtaking art creating an atmosphere of profound beauty. It's immediately clear why this cathedral holds the prestigious title of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Every corner reveals centuries of history and artistic brilliance, making it an unforgettable experience that truly stands apart.
William L — Google review
This is a must see. It’s just stunning. Try time it for mass. A lot of tourists are walking around, looking at all the art periods, Capellas. The audio guide is necessary, they’ve a children’s audio guide too. The staff are so kind & patient. It’s mostly wheelchair accessible except the gift shop & tapestries. The beauty & building for the glory of God is a feast for your eyes. Again the ticket here can be also used at ‘the glass rosary’ You’ll need more time than you think in this cathedral. Look at the tapestries. If you like art this is for you.
Á D — Google review
This was the best historical site we saw in Zaragoza. It covers several periods, invasions & conversions. The audio guide for children and another for adult work really well. Lots of language options. It’s mostly wheelchair friendly but the gift shop, up one step and the tapestry’s are up several flights of old broad stairs. Everyone is so friendly. The detail of each little chapel can be a little overwhelming at times. The effort, skills & expense put into them. The personal Family history.
Aine D — Google review
Pretty amazing place, but quite crowded on the weekend. It's also closed around lunch time so you can't really go in and take advantage of smaller crowds. All that said, it's not worth taking a special trip to Zaragoza just for this and a couple other churches that are around. If you're in the area, or you're passing through, you definitely should visit.
Loech M — Google review
Very nice and important place to see. The cathedral has some magnificent architecture and decour, also there is a wonderful tapestry museum inside which I would say is a must see for any history and decour enthusiast. The visit includes a great audioguide in multiple languages.
Michał Ł — Google review
One of the most impressive cathedrals in Spain, also constantly underrated and overshadowed by El Pilar for obvious reasons, it retains a big artistic value in unique from the wood altarpiece to the choir or all the baroque interiors, plus the mudejar tiles on the façade or the collection of rich medieval tapestries. It reflects the role of Zaragoza as witness in a crossroads of civilizations from Roman to Visigoth, muslim, and Christian again in Romanesque, Gothic, renaissance, unique mudejar with arab reminiscences, baroque, neoclassic, etc all in one single building

Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar

Mentioned on 
42 lists 
Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
The Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar is a stunning Baroque structure adorned with vibrant cupolas and renowned for its shrine to the Virgin Mary. Inside, visitors can admire frescoes by Goya. While it's worth exploring this architectural gem, nearby villages like Aninon and Torralba de Ribota boast exceptional examples of Mudejar architecture, such as the Church of Lady of Castillo and the Church of San Felix.
Breathtaking and Majestic El Pilar is absolutely stunning—both inside and out. The architecture is grand, the interior is peaceful and awe-inspiring, and the views from the towers are unforgettable. A place filled with history, beauty, and spiritual calm. A true gem of Zaragoza and a must-visit for anyone in the city.
Akmal K — Google review
A most exquisite building dedicated to Saint Mary who appeared on a pillar which is now enclosed but you can kneel before it and touch part of it. The soaring ceiling and beautiful sculptures are breathtaking. Each of the chapels has its own glorious artworks. The chapel at the back of the church is extraordinary with a separate open roof structure. A true gem.

The Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar in Zaragoza is a breathtaking masterpiece of Baroque architecture and a deeply spiritual landmark. With its grand domes, stunning frescoes by Goya, and peaceful riverside setting, it’s a must-visit for both art and history lovers. Don’t miss the panoramic views from the tower and the nearby Puente de Piedra for perfect photos.

Simply mammoth size of a Cathedral....hard to photograph it was so large but got some shots on a stormy night from the bridge. Beautiful tiling on roof. Beautifully carved altar and wonderfully cool inside. Sadly a couple of the towers were being renovated but understandable.

Such a beautiful Basilica. Seeing the Pilar where our Lady billocated was so special. We timed it well for Holy Mass. you do need an hour to explore afterwards. Plenty of priests were there to hear confessions. Architecture was spectacular, the paintings, sculptures- a pure joy to be there. Plenty of Capella for praying along. Rosary after 12 mass.
Á D — Google review
The church was absolutely stunning, with its magnificent architecture leaving me speechless. The intricate stonework and towering spires created an awe-inspiring silhouette against the sky. As I walked through the grand entrance, I was captivated by the rich history that enveloped the space; it felt as though time itself had been preserved within these walls. The ornate stained glass windows cast vibrant colors across the interior, illuminating the beautifully carved wooden pews. I found myself particularly mesmerized by the elaborate details on the facade, where every chiselled figure and decorative element seemed to tell a story of its own. It was an experience that left a lasting impression on my heart.

Aljafería Palace

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Aljafería Palace, also known as Palacio de la Aljaferia, is a must-visit in Zaragoza. This 11th-century palace serves as the seat of the Aragonese Parliament and offers guided tours. The palace's fortified exterior contrasts with its stunning interior featuring Mudejar art declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. Inside, visitors can admire the breathtaking myrhab, alveolate arches, an orange tree patio, and the golden hall.
We love Spain and Moorish architecture so this was a most enjoyable visit on a roasting day. Don't forget to look up at the amazing ceilings....bit hot for visiting the gardens which may potentially may only have consisted of a number of trees within some dusty paths. There was some Goya art there as the official exhibition is closed. Not art to my personal taste but I appreciate he is a local hero.
Jeph B — Google review
This used to be a fortified Islamic medieval palace built between 1065 and 1081 that eventually housed the regional parliament of Aragon. I was amazed by the intricate mixtilinear arches and springers, with arabesques over a large area. Definitely worth the money (not expensive) and time spent there. Notable sights include the Golden Hall, Mosque, Santa Isabel Courtyard, Palace of Peter IV and Palace of the Catholic Monarchs. When I was there, Goya’s works were also temporarily exhibited here, with the Goya Museum being renovated. So it was a 2-in-1 visit.

The place looked beautiful, and definitely is very cool from the outside. However, we were unable to go in because the tickets are not working from the online system. There was a long line, and we went to buy our tickets online, but definitely with the mobile device it was not working. It seems to be fairly typical that many of the websites in Spain don't work. 😞😵‍💫

1. Before my visit, it was not clear to me whether tickets had to be purchased in advance or not, so as not to waste time in queues. I visited Aljaferia Palace on a Friday afternoon in September. There was no queue for tickets. The ticket office is a small booth outside the walls of the Aljaferia, on the side of Calle de los Disputados street. 2. As with many Spanish attractions in Zaragoza, the explanations are perfect in Spanish :-) , but there is no information in English. I had installed the Aljaferia Palace app. This app contains numbers, but unfortunately these numbers do not correspond to the numbers found in the various rooms. Well, how difficult is it to do something properly... 3. Coming back to the tickets. Apparently, you can take guided tours in English during the summer. September is no longer summer, so guided tours were only available in Spanish. Try booking a ticket in advance on the website, and I wish you luck understanding it... I see online tickets for locals, for students, for all kinds of groups of people, but not for a foreign (English-speaking) tourist who wants a regular visit without extras. Has anyone ever taken a critical look at this booking web page? 4. Although the style is also Moorish, it is not comparable to, for example, the Alhambra in Granada, which is much more beautifully integrated into the landscape and has much more beautiful gardens, water features, and buildings.

It is a magnificent building to visit especially on a Rainey day. Though our visit coincided with a film crew on site. Restricting locations and sound levels. As we had just arrived we could not come back another day. We were still charged full price to enter.

An absolutely amazing piece of history not too far from the centre of Zaragoza. I booked the English tour for 9 euros and it was well worth the money. I would recommend the tours because you will get a lot more of the history of the palace and you will enjoy the visit more.

One of the most interesting archaeological heritage buildings that shows our shared cultural and artistic links of Aragon and Spain with the Muslim world while showing the evolution and its later role in Christian time as a royal fortress since Ferdinand and Isabella. If it was located in France or Italy it would have been visited 10 times more. A hidden gem worth visiting and cherishing and discovering all its treasures.

Monasterio de Piedra is a stunning natural park located in Nuevalos, where the Piedra river creates a breathtaking setting around a 12th-century monastery. The park features waterfalls, caves, and lush vegetation amidst an otherwise arid landscape. Visitors can explore the monastery's walls steeped in eight centuries of history since its consecration in 1218.
The park is simply fantastic; spending a day there is a great pleasure for the whole family. The fresh air and the river create a wonderfully warm atmosphere. If you happen to see the birds perform, you're in luck. Come and see.

It is certainly a noteworthy and highly recommended experience in Zaragoza. Initially, one might be taken aback by the 19€ entrance fee for the hike. Nevertheless, after traversing the path, it quickly becomes apparent that it is worth every penny. We visited in October and enjoyed delightful weather. I can imagine that it might be quite warm during the summer months. A small suggestion: opt for the longer hiking route instead of the shortcut, provided you are physically capable, as you will not be disappointed.

Actually, during this photoshoot, we were also driven away. The location itself was quite remote and inconvenient to access—it required about one half an hour of driving from the city center—though the scenery there was truly beautiful. What was infuriating was that just when we were about to leave, an elderly staff member angrily warned us that we shouldn't wear "such Japanese-style clothing" and that we should "wear normal clothes." It wouldn't have been a big deal initially, but he kept pressing us, and that made me angry. I explained clearly that this is, in fact, Chinese-style clothing. But he responded with a dismissive expression, saying, "I don't care which country it's from—you just can't dress like this here." He went on to say a lot of very disrespectful things. We had already explained that other staff outside had allowed us to enter, yet he still confronted us angrily behind our backs. I just want to say: you can be upset if our unconventional clothing disturbed your work, but you shouldn’t discriminate against a character like this. Even if the character I’m cosplaying isn’t a good person, we’re all here out of love for the craft, investing our own time, money, and effort—some of us even traveled four hours from other cities just to be there. In that moment, I nearly lost my temper and felt like cursing at him, just like Xue Yang would have. My friend, cosplaying as Jin Guangyao, probably noticed the look on my face and stepped in to calmly talk to the other party. Anyway, with all that happened, and considering the remote location despite its beauty, I said I won’t be going back again. ---

Absolutely wonderful place to visit. The only things I was missing were the better indications of the pathways. We spend more than 3 hours there photographing and enjoying the beautiful nature. The light was amazing in the morning. It is not suitable for people with wheelchair. Also, there are quite tough parts on the path going up and down the stairs.

I went there for the Spa and the termal waters after I ws on a trip through the Scandinavian and Baltic countries. We'll, it is very sad but there is no a positive way to compare them. This place was more expensive, the water was either very cold or lukewarm and the lack of maintenance was unbelievable, I mean the little mosaics titles were loose in the pools floor. Some of the water taps were not even working, but of course everything was about to be fixed the next day. Typical Spaniard answer. And, even tho the entrance is pricey for what it is the charge you extra for a pool cap.

WOW!! Allow a whole day for this place. Good walking conditions with correct footwear. Lots of waterfalls means lots of damp and slippy areas..but worth it. And don't forget to stop and see the raptors..amazing!! Trying to edit my post 🤞Also, you can follow the path down to the waterfall and go behind it! Follow the steps down to the cave, it's well lit and has handrails. Not for small toddlers or prams and pushchairs...and probly not good for dogs unless they trained in cave rescue!😂but the view from behind the waterfall is sooo beautiful and breathtaking and wet!! Wear your hood up, no umbrellas, you will need both hands to take photos!

Bardenas Reales

Desert
Nature & Parks
Bardenas Reales is a vast desert region known for its soaring canyons, sandstone cliffs, and rocky outcrops. The Hotel Aire de Bardenas offers a unique stay with its modernist design rising unexpectedly from the rocky earth at the border of the desert. Visitors can explore the area by car, quad, or enduro bikes but should be cautious as some parts are challenging to navigate.
Wonderful area, somewhat alike west USA parks, notably Monument Valley, ah a smaller scale. There’s a military area in the center of the natural reserve of the White Bardenas; hence forbidden to any visitors. However, there remain quite a number or district to visit and watch at either nord or south this military district and of course around as it’s surrounded by a gravel track which cycles and cars of any kind may drive. At lest by dry weather. I do recommend that wild place! Check weather forecasts for possible high temperatures in summer, or rain in winter (or fog as I had on a late December day !) especially if you aim to take photos

This place is great. But how do you get there? I found get to Arguedas and follow the signs easiest. It’s not complicated. The roads are more track than tarmac but perfectly fine for cars. You could also enter via El Paso, but it’s not so well signposted. From Arguedas it’s a straight track until you reach the army base, where you turn left. Don’t mistake the first ‘stack’ as the iconic photo. Travel 2 km up the track and there’s a clear stopping place where you can get out and have a 360 degree view once you’ve climbed the easy path. Then continue on for another 2 km and you’ll reach the classic photo stack which has plenty of parking space. To get out you can keep going, left out of the car park or simply do it all again in reverse back to Arguedes.

Really nice environment and change of scenery. The area is wide, but there are roughy 3 or 4 nice mountains/cliffs that have a 'canyon/desert' look and feel. Good to reach by car. Nice for holiday pictures and experience. There are no shops in the area, so take water (and snacks if you like) with you.

Sendaviva, Natural Park of Navarra is an adventure theme park that offers a mix of attractions, animals, and shows. The park has made efforts to improve accessibility by incorporating QR codes on animal signs for visually-impaired visitors. It's a family-friendly destination with funfair rides and various animal species including lemurs, tigers, and bears.
Good place to spent time with family 💚 large area with animals, many activities, large playgrounds, a real adventure for children. We didn’t manage to get around everything during the day. We rode on children's attractions: a train on a farm, horses, towers and others . You can collect coins and exchange them for a lottery (crab fishing, searching for precious stones and others). We visited all the water areas (3 large slides, water labyrinths, water places for the little ones). There are fear rooms, place for lunch. There is a queue for some of the attractions (for example, we didn’t try the rodelbahn). This is a development zone of the park, I would like to minimize them so as not to stand for several hours.

Good place to spend a day with children. If your children like animals, they will have a wide variety of animals to see. The rides are fun, and here I mention the Bobsleigh, the tubing and the self drive boats. On the negative side, this Parc is huge and there are large distances to be covered. If you are with small children, they will get tired pretty fast. The day we went it was very crowded too, so there was a lot of queueing up to get to the rides, anywhere from 15 minutes to almost an hour for the bobsleigh. Parking is free but quite far away, if you want to park closer to the Parc, you pay 9 euros for a day in a parking place that is not only nearer to the entrance but your car is also protected from the sun.

Good sized park with plenty to do. You can easily spend a full day here. Bring swimwear as there are both dryland and wet activities. We didn't realise this and it was a shame. If you want to do the Zipline, you need to book this in advance - this was not clear (to us non-Spaish speakers) from the website. Negative point: you're not allowed to bring your own food in. They do charge a little extra for some things targeted at young children, inside the park which is unfair after paying a hefty entrance fee for a family. It would be better to get a couple of tokens with your entry that you can use for those games.

The area where the birds are kept have metal doors that slam and make a terrible noise, which clearly freaks the birds out. Please go to any store and get those tear drops that you stick on doors to reduce this noise. Throughout the park, we saw many children banging on the glass windows/panels to get birds, tigers, lions' attention. As their parents didn't do anything, please put up signs reminding visitors to not shout at the animals nor bang on the glass panels. If this is indeed an educational park, it is your duty to look after every being in your park. Thank you

Cathedral Santa Maria de la Huerta is a stunning Gothic cathedral with Mudéjar and Renaissance influences. The Diocesan Museum inside the Catedral de San Pedro houses a remarkable collection of Romanesque and Gothic art. After undergoing restoration, the cathedral now offers an impressive experience both inside and out. Visitors can also take a guided tour to learn about its history and contribute to its ongoing restoration efforts. The cathedral's tower provides a great vantage point for panoramic views of the city.
Not to be missed. Remarkable ..but so far removed from the tomb at Gethsemane to be in my mind obscene. But, nevertheless, something to be marvelled at. Visit the Jewish quarter across the river afterwards. That ,too, is worth seeing

(Translated by Google) A visit to the Cathedral of Santa María de la Huerta is highly recommended. Admission is €5, and considering its condition after 30 years of closure for restoration, it's truly admirable after seeing the images of its former state. From the outside, you can already appreciate its multiple architectural styles, enshrined throughout its centuries of history. The Mudejar façade stands out, along with a Gothic-style floor plan with its ribbed vaults and the choir stalls at the center of the basilica. It also has numerous chapels that are still being restored. (Original) Muy recomendable la visita a la Catedral de Santa María de la Huerta, tiene un precio de 5€ la entrada y teniendo en cuenta como ha quedado tras 30 años cerrada por restauración es de admirar tras ver las imágenes del estado en el que se encontraba anteriormente.

It is a small castle, there is really not much inside. Church was small, but nice, entrance is free. To turn on the lights in the church you need to drop a euro. Parking is a bit confusing and be careful driving on tiny streets. It is a small town and besides the castle/church there is not much to visit. If you want a see a town that has a feel of "old" Spain, it is worth visit.

(Translated by Google) The Church-Fortress of Santa María de Ujué is located in Ujué (Navarre, Spain). It is originally a Romanesque church, surrounded by various buildings that disguise it. Its most distinctive feature is its military fortress appearance, thanks to its crenellated towers (Cuatro Vientos and los Picos), patrol paths, and robust buttresses. Today, it is an important Marian shrine, a National Monument, and has undergone significant renovations. It is one of the town's jewels, thanks to its beautiful galleries, its large Gothic nave with a Romanesque chevet, and its two doorways. The northern one, simpler, is decorated with highly descriptive scenes, and the southern one, the main one, is a Gothic masterpiece worth a stop. The entrance fee is voluntary. (Original) La Iglesia-Fortaleza de Santa María de Ujué se encuentra en dicha población (Navarra, España). Es un templo en origen románico, rodeado por diferentes construcciones que lo enmascaran. Su característica más peculiar es su aspecto de fortaleza militar por sus torres almenadas (Cuatro Vientos y los Picos), pasos de ronda y robustos contrafuertes. En la actualidad, se trata de un importante santuario mariano, Monumento Nacional, donde se han llevado a cabo importantes reformas. Una de las joyas de la localidad por sus hermosas galerías, su gran nave gótica con cabecera románica y sus dos portadas. La norte, más sencilla, decorada con escenas muy descriptivas y la sur, la principal, una obra maestra del gótico en la que merece la pena detenerse. El precio de la entrada es la voluntad.

The Royal Palace of Olite is a medieval fortress complex with towers, battlements, courtyards, and gardens. It has a rich history dating back to the 15th century when it began to deteriorate after Navarre was invaded. The palace was intentionally burned during the Peninsular War in 1813 but has since been restored to its original grandeur. Today, it stands as a major tourist attraction in the quiet town of Olite.
A really nice place to visit in nice quiet town. I was lucky to make it on a Monday afternoon with free entrance. Thanks. I enjoyed the palace. When you make it to the top of the towers the wind blows very strong.

We were recommended to visit this castle by a member of staff at the parador at Calahorra. Whilst it was a detour from our planned route, it was most certainly worth it. A stunning building and an entrance fee which was unbelievably low, for people of a "more mature age". Indeed had this been an historic building in the UK, possibly run by the National Trust, the entrance would have been a minimum of 10 times the fee in Olite. It is wonderful to see how the Spanish authorities are, when it comes to restoration and maintenance of their historic sites. This castle is amazing and should definitely be on everybody's list if visiting this part of Spain.

We were the only German family (without any Spanish skills) visiting Tierra Rapaz – and we had an absolutely amazing, unforgettable holiday experience! The shows and the close contact with the animals were just incredibly impressive. You can really feel the love and dedication in every single detail – it’s clear that this is a place run by people with true passion. What we didn’t know beforehand: The visit actually fills the whole day, from morning to evening – but it never feels long or boring. It’s varied, exciting, and also relaxing, with fantastic shows and plenty of time to explore, play, and admire the animals. Our 4-year-old daughter was absolutely thrilled – she fell asleep in the evening full of joy and new impressions. A huge thank you to the entire team, who work together so wonderfully – especially with the animals. The opportunity to get so close to the birds is truly unique and something we won’t forget anytime soon. A very special thank you goes to Camila, who accompanied us so warmly throughout the day and translated everything into English – that was truly amazing! Tierra Rapaz is worth every cent. We highly recommend it!

Ideal place to be with the hole family, children and adults will be happy here. Place of conservation and study of "birds of prey" in a marvellous and little unknown land, La Rioja. They have the best wine from Spain in this region but not only, you can also find hidden jewels like "Tierra Rapaz". The place is large, with two bird exhibits, day and night prey birds, worthy of the best zoos all-over the world. The love and affection they have for the birds can be seen in each place of the enclosure. A must-see if you're in northern Spain.

An amazing experience, the owner’s love and enthusiasm for the birds is one of a kind and will make you love these birds just as much. Highly recommend, you can spend the whole day there without realising, especially as there’s something to do at regular intervals

The animals are tied by their legs so they won’t fly away. The place is very local and no one speaks English. If you don’t know Spanish, you won’t understand what’s going on there. It’s nothing like the pictures – more of a show for petting wild animals. We came all the way here based on the reviews and were really disappointed.

Tierra Rapaz is a Shelter for birds. Especially predators like Hawks of all kinds aswell as eagels, stitches, and many more. They take birds in that wouldn't survive in the wild and train them ,very well if I might add. The whole team is very friendly, and most of them speak good English. This place is well worth the visit. For both hound and old. It's an amazing experience. The have a fantastic and very impressive Show, and let you come into real up close contact with the birds. Don't expect anything fancy though. Just allot off new and amazing experiences. I would recommend anyone to go there without hesitation!

Nathan V — Google review
A not-particularly-enjoyable dinosaur theme park. Any links with the genuine dinosaur footprints, which are five minute's drive away at the Icnitas De Enciso, are tenuous to say the least - the "museum" here is a real afterthought. If you want to actually find out about the dinosaur footprints, go to the Centro Paleontológico de Enciso in town instead. The food was mediocre at best - bagged salad with tasteless tomatoes in Spain should be a crime - and overpriced. We only came here to eat because the restaurant in the Posada Santa Rita in town was full, so unless you actively want to come here make sure you book at the posada before coming to Enciso. The staff looked like they'd rather be anywhere else. We did see kids enjoying themselves in the pools, but that was about it.

We were on a tour of various Spanish wineries and this was my favorite one. Their Cab blends were incredible; elegant layers of flavor that lingered. Their prices, including shipping to the US, were less than most Meritage options from Sonoma and Napa. We all have affinities, mine is small family wineries that strive for excellence. If you are traveling around the Navarra area, attempt to set up a visit.

(Translated by Google) First of all, a family winery. It has been, after many tastings that I have done, a guided tour showing the entire process of wine creation, a mysterious secret of the winemakers who do not teach the origin of their material. Of course, thank you for the guide we had; close, explanatory, dedicated, with vocation. An eminence in the sector. We enjoyed the visit, learned about the type of arbor, learned from the wine tasting and, above all, the unique environment. (Original) Primero de todo, una bodega familiar.

His explanations gave us a deeper appreciation for the world of wine. The three wines we tasted, from the rosé to the young wine, and ending with the reserve, were all excellent. Thank you so much for making this visit such a special moment. See you later. (Original) Visitamos la bodega el 28 de agosto de 2025. Fuimos 5 adultos. Nos recibió Mario, quién nos hizo sentir como si lo conociéramos toda la vida. La experiencia fue excelente. Sus explicaciones nos hicieron apreciar más el mundo del vino.

Concatedral de Santa María de la Redonda de Logroño

Mentioned on 
+25 other lists 
Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Concatedral de Santa María de la Redonda de Logroño is a grand and historic cathedral with two imposing baroque towers that rise over Plaza del Mercado. It is home to significant artistic treasures, including a painting by Michelangelo and carvings by Gregorio Fernandez. The cathedral also houses the venerated image of the Virgin of Hope, patron saint of Logrono.
When you enter the cathedral, there is a notice saying that a QR code for an audio guide is available at Reception. I would take this to mean the sacristy, which is at the very end of the church behind the altar , however it is closed in the middle of the day & not open until 7 pm . Search online for “ la redonda audio guide english “ and it takes you to the Audio Co Cathedral - Logróño website which has the English version of the audio guide. It is well worth listening to as you go around the cathedral.

Nice cathedral, with a Michelangelo in the back. You have to pay to see a lot of the art lit up, unfortunately, but it's free to get in so not a huge deal.
Bruce H — Google review
An impressive cathedral, yet another in Spain, with a reputed Michaelangelo. Fantastic altar pieces, free entry, not always open and for those complaining about having to pay to highlight certain aspects, whilst its a valid complaint it's mere cents. My pet dislike is in so many churches nowadays that the candles are not real so I refuse to pay.

Nice place, looks impressive inside. They have a unconfirmed Michelangelo painting in the back. Also they open a north tower for visitors and a back door with a nice hall some times. But the most impressive -they play a real organ, with live choir - sounds amazing. I heard it couple of times on weekends in the evening, not sure about the other time slots.

Nestled just across the Ebro River from Logroño's historic center, Bodegas Franco Españolas is a celebrated winery with roots stretching back over a century. This charming establishment offers visitors an opportunity to explore its rich history through guided tours and tastings, showcasing the art of winemaking that has flourished since its inception in the 1800s.
The perfect wine tasting experience in Logroño. Well established winery with a beautiful tasting room, friendly, patient, multi-lingual, and knowledgeable staff. Delicious wines. Various purchase options, including shipping - at reasonable costs. Reservation was not required for the tasting menu…on this day. Reds delivered as expected, but the whites were a complete and delightful surprise. Ordered a mixed case shipped.
Randy R — Google review
We have really enjoyed the winery tour at Franco Españolas, it is right there in the city of Logroño so do not miss it. The tour content is way superior than other wineries because they take a meta view of the history of the region. It was the union of Spanish and French producers (hence the name) after the phyllorexa epidemic that spawn the renewal of wine production and it happened right here at this winery. The tour is very complete, from the original vats to the cellar where they store their old vintages (that are on sale), our tour guides was very knowledgeable and enjoyed giving the history and explanations. That was the highlight: the tour guide. It made a big difference. And he answered all questions. A real professional. The tasting at the end is the most underwhelming part of the tour, we almost lowered the rating to 4/5 because of it but the tour guide is so good that the content more than made up for the wine tasting. Highly recommended. P.S.: if this review was useful, please leave a 👍 and we thank you 🙏 in advance
Mister M — Google review
We attended the Spanish language version. Interesting tour from a history point of view. Very knowledgeable guide, lacking in enthusiasm though. The tasting at the end of the tour left us a bit cold. This is where the guide's passion would have helped. Instead, he just disappeared without saying thanks and goodbye to the visitors. Overall, professionally organized, a tourist experience rather than one for wine enthusiasts. And that's fine, just go and attend with the correct expectations.

Booked a wine tour and when I showed up the next day for it, was told along with everyone else that was there for it that they had to cancel. The reason being that someone had paid a lot of money for a private tour that afternoon. They were very apologetic and said they would refund the money- obviously they have to do that. They gave everyone a glass of wine from the bar. Patrons could not rebook because they were not in town when it would be rescheduled. Wine was good, not great. They really should have done more for the inconvenience they caused everyone. Many other places to choose from.

⸻ Expectations were high since my parents visited this place about 15 years ago. Apparently, everything has changed. This was anything but good. We started off in a sauna (the entrance), spending 30 minutes in front of a roll-up banner. The guide knew their stuff, but the heat and the noise from all the other groups in this commercial setting were unbearable. Our group had about 15 people, but others had up to 50. We had booked the premium package, which included a guided tour, wine tasting, and a six-course meal. After about 1 hour and 20 minutes, the tour was over. We were taken to a large, fully packed tiled dining hall with a terrible noise level and crowded with people. Wine was poured without any presentation. Then came the food… This is among the worst meals I’ve ever had. (Some parts were inedible.) Overcooked ravioli with a sweet sauce. Everything leaned towards being sweet—even the seafood salad, which I couldn’t finish. When the tuna arrived, my daughter started crying. It was unbalanced and overcooked. I took one bite and couldn’t eat more. Inedible. The dessert was cold milk with chopped pears poached in wine. I felt almost sick after the meal. This place has become impersonal, commercialized, and extremely overpriced. I cannot recommend it.

Nestled in the stunning La Rioja mountains, the Monastery of Nuestra Señora de Valvanera is a hidden gem that offers an enchanting escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Although much of it was rebuilt after a fire in the last century, remnants of its original charm remain intact. Visitors are drawn to its serene atmosphere and breathtaking views, making it one of the most tranquil spots among local monasteries. The accommodations are comfortable and impeccably clean, providing a cozy retreat for travelers.
Most of this was rebuilt after a fire in the last century, but parts of the original remain. However, the real attraction is the extraordinary atmosphere of peace and serenity, coupled with the views. In that respect certainly the best of the three mountain monasteries in the region.

Bodegas Lecea is situated in the historic Las Cuevas de San Asensio neighborhood, where over 300 cave cellars were constructed by local farmers in the 16th century for wine storage.

We visited many bodegas while in the Rioja region, and Bodegas Lecea was the highlight of our trip. We toured the caves with a glass of wine in hand.

It was a wonderful experience that we will always remember!

One of the best winery experiences I’ve ever had! I recently completed my WSET Level 3 and wanted to explore Rioja and wow, this was the perfect winery to visit. We went on October 4 during the Fiesta del Pisado, and it was such a cool experience! We toured the cellars, learned how they produce their famous Corazón de Lago Rioja wine, and enjoyed a wonderful tasting. Afterwards, we even got to take part in the grape-treading process...actually stomping the grapes in the “lake” to help make the wine! The hospitality was incredible, and the food was excellent. The granddaughter was so kind and helpful and our tour guide was so knowledgeable. We loved every minute of our visit and, of course, the wine was outstanding. We bought several bottles to take home!!

Lecea winery is not just a winery ! It's a trip back in time, into traditions of wine making and life in the area of Rioja Alta! Lecea family stands proud in the footprints of their grandparents, working hard to maintain the tradition and offer a glimpse of the past to all of us passing their threshold! From the beginning till the end, our experience there was beautiful and warm and friendly! We arrived as tourists interested in the culture and winemaking of the area and we left as friends with a great desire for coming back! Lidia and her family are very warm and welcoming people. We joined a Spanish speaking tour, but Lidia took the time to explain everything in English, too and gave us great insights of the life, the winemaking and the traditions of the area. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Amazing experience visiting the wine caves and having a picnic lunch in the vineyard. We were warmly welcomed by the Lecea family and had an amazing guide, Christina.

I can highly recommend this bodega. We joined an English-speaking tour that lasted about 1.5 hours. What I really liked was that there were two wine tastings during the tour itself, perfectly paired with the explanations about viticulture – not just a quick tasting at the very end like in many other places. What also makes this bodega special is its history: at one point the town had around 300 underground cellars, but today this is the only one that still exists in its original form. Here it’s really all about tradition, history, and craftsmanship – and you can feel the authenticity throughout. Our guide was very friendly as well. Absolutely recommended!

The museum was world class! We’ve been to winelands around the world and have never seen such an amazing presentation of wine history or collection of wine-related items ie: corkscrews, vessels, etc Book ahead for a tasting / museum package. The views and property are lovely. Tasting was OK experience. Shop had nice options.

Vivanco Museum is without the doubt the best wine museum in the world! Make sure that you reserve at least two-three hours to visit this spectacular place, as the amount of the items and the size of the exhibition are huge. Their wines from the Vivanco collection, including sparkling wines, are incredible!

I have visited it many years ago, it’s an amazing place: aesthetically pleasing, with various artifacts of art regarded to the wine production.

It is quite expensive (18 euros each) and exhibits do not come with English translation (I know I’m in Spain and i wouldn’t expect a local restaurant to have an English menu for instance. But for a museum targeting tourists, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect) and the audio guide is really badly made - doesn’t move from one track to the other, so for every track you have to go back to the main menu. You also have to give them a bunch of information just to access the app and audio guide you are unlikely ever to use again. Otherwise a pretty nice museum and some interesting exhibits. The area around the museum is really scenic as well.

Good place to visit. The guided tour is very nice and the guide very knowledgeable. The cellar is worth it and very well designed. The restaurant food is very nice and the service just fantastic. The wines were not so good to me. But highly recommended visit nonetheless.

This museum is just amazing. It is best presentation of the entire process of assessing the land, preparing the soil, how the plants are cultivated and the history of diseases that impacted the European root stock. They over the process of pruning then the harvest and processing of the grapes. The video presentation are superb. The history of the wine presses is very well done.Then they cover all the steps in storing the wine in barrels and the details of barrel construction. Then there is the making of corks, bottling and shipping. They have the most extensive collection of cork screws. Then you are able to tour the active wine vine garden to see all the varietal grapes growing along side a large vineyard field. This place is a must and the learning experience is outstanding!

Visited without booking. Large free car park and extremely helpful staff who talk you through the proposed tour and wine tasting. Museum is 21 years old but is pristine The displays and exhibitions are first class taking 2-3 hours to take in all the information. The wine tasting provided a selection of two from 18 bottles which were different but most enjoyable. Well worth a stop in the heart of the Rijca 'Alto' region.
