Arnedo
Some come to buy the best footwear at the best price, while others seek to learn more about this city with a long tradition of shoemaking. Others arrive looking to immerse themselves in our history, buried in the characteristic reddish landscape that surrounds us. Some begin their visit in the Cidacos Valley, delving into the great palaeontological legacy of La Rioja Rupestre. Sometimes the reason for the visit is linked to the calendar: festivals, celebrations, sporting events... activities that can be combined with our gastronomy or our nature. The reason for your arrival in Arnedo doesn't matter, what we want is for it to leave its mark on you.
Cueva de los Cien Pilares
They form part of an important rock art heritage, undoubtedly the most unique of our resources. This complex excavated under the Cerro de San Miguel tells us about the relationship between man and the earth for centuries. Your journey will allow you to see and feel the history of these caves.
Banu Qasi Castle
Nestled on the hill that bears its name, this building dates back to the Muslim era, when the Banu Qasi ruled these lands. Its commanding view over the valley made it an important defensive stronghold, playing a key role during the era of feudalism.
