It is a late Romanesque building built in ashlar, begun at the end of the 12th or beginning of the 13th century. It consists of a nave with three bays and a presbytery, both rectangular and covered with a pointed barrel vault, separated from the apse by a triumphal arch supported by a belfry with two bays. The apse is semicircular, narrower and covered with a pointed quarter-sphere vault. The complex must have been built in two stages, as different hands can be seen: the chevet up to the triumphal arch must have been built between the 12th and 13th centuries by a good craftsman with knowledge of both architecture and sculpture, as he introduced historical themes; the nave and the belfry were perhaps built in the mid-13th century by a less skilled stonemason with no notions of sculpture, as he only sculpted plant motifs. MONUMENTAL SCULPTURE The apse has three semicircular windows. They are decorated with different geometric motifs: diamond latticework, undulating lines, nail heads, blades, etc. ….. The capitals are decorated with pine cones, palmettes, a double-tailed fish-mermaid holding her two sea limbs in her hands, and two symmetrical birds facing each other and pecking at a tree […]

Marks Don Jacobo, Altos del Corral, Wine Roots, Los Corrales de Moncalvillo. Bodegas Corral is a winery with a centuries-old tradition located on the axis of the Pilgrims’ Route to Santiago del Norte and Navarre, near the old Pilgrims’ Hospital of San Juan de Acre. In such a privileged place, where the pilgrims told each other all the knowledge they carried in their meagre luggage, the wine culture expanded its knowledge with each contribution of all the travellers. For this reason, Bodegas Corral is synonymous with knowledge of the art of wine. Visits to the winery Wine bar

The history of this washhouse begins at the beginning of 1862, when the contractor from Casalarreina, Marcelino Olabe, presented the Cuzcurrita Town Council with the plan, budget and cost of a washhouse for our town. The initial plan was not carried out for reasons unknown to us, the original project was modified and this washing place was built instead, which for 118 years was used by all the residents of Cuzcurrita to wash their clothes. How many stories and anecdotes of the village had to hear these old stones in the daily work of the neighbours of Cuzcurrita! The original project had a double row of six columns on each side, the outer ones of stone and the inner ones of wood, which were replaced by a single row of five stone columns on each side and a central row of wood to support the roof, and it is from this final project that we have a photograph, which also illustrates this work. The Town Council approved the budget for the second project and work began on 9 April 1862. The accounts for this construction are preserved in the archives, and the total cost of the work was 7,576 reales, […]

Romanesque from the 13th century. Together with the hermitage and the remains of other buildings, it stands on a hill overlooking the River Ebro, protecting the lands of La Sonsierra and La Rioja Alta from attacks from Navarre. It is made of ashlar, reinforced at the corners with round cubes, giving rise to a seven-sided polygonal shape, of which the square-shaped Torre del Homenaje (Homage Tower) forms part at the eastern end, attached to the wall and housing the chapel on the ground floor. In the inner courtyard of the fortress there are corbels and grooves that point to the existence of storerooms, stables and other complementary constructions. In this place where the castle and the chapel are located, there used to be a small village called Davalillo. In the 18th century, Alfonso X donated the place of San Asensio to Davalillo, and Davalillo became a village of some importance. As early as 1515, the town was already growing. After the war between Pedro I “The Cruel” and Enrique II, with the fragmentation of La Rioja into seigniories, the decline of Davalillo began, which increased with the struggles between the lords of the castle and the lords of the town, […]

The Vivanco Foundation’s Museum of Wine Culture was inaugurated in mid-2004 and is one of the most important private initiatives on the world of wine and its economic, social and cultural dimensions. In this complex, consisting of the museum itself and the winery, we find the history and culture of wine, a product associated with mythology and religion, with a strong social presence and whose production requires, from the vineyard to the winery, work that captures the essence of traditional tasks. Visits to the museum must be booked in advance for both national and international calls on 941 322 323. The opening hours are the same as for the visits, which you can see by clicking on the Timetable link.

A large number of the cellars are excavated underground with entrances and small ashlar constructions visible. There are also tuferas, or “tuferas”, which are visible as a sign of the cellars dug into the rock, which criss-cross each other, giving rise to passages between cellars.
