Aguilar del Río Alhama is located in the southeast of La Rioja, very close to Navarre and Aragon. With around 470 inhabitants, it keeps its agricultural tradition alive, growing asparagus, pears, almonds and fruit, alongside livestock farming. Of Celtiberian origin, with traces of the Roman and Visigothic periods, it preserves the valuable archaeological site of Contrebia Leucade, accompanied by an interpretation centre that brings its history to life. The local heritage is highlighted by the Renaissance church of La Asunción (16th century), with Baroque and Gothic altarpieces, the Romanesque chapel of Valvanera (12th century) and the remains of the medieval castle. Its natural surroundings invite visitors to explore routes such as the Camino Verde del Alhama, where griffon vultures and rugged landscapes surprise visitors. History, nature and authenticity make Aguilar a unique rural destination.

Celtibrian site of Contrebia Leucade

It is one of the most important archaeological sites in La Rioja. The nature, monumentality and exceptional state of preservation of its remains make Contrebia Leucade an essential reference point for learning about the indigenous communities and their resistance to Rome.

Parish Church of the Assumption

Its interior is covered with an elegant star-shaped ribbed vault and has a Renaissance-style façade. It houses valuable works of art, including Baroque and Neoclassical altarpieces, as well as an 18th-century recumbent Christ and the Virgin of Los Remedios, a delicate 14th-century Gothic carving.
