Asphalt forest track to the Bonicaparra refuge. A very nice climb, especially recommended in autumn when the beech forest is bursting with colour.

This refuge is located at the end of the paved track that goes up the Cárdenas river valley from San Millán de la Cogolla. The shelter has two rooms, one of them having a fireplace and a table. It is a usual starting point for the ascent to the San Lorenzo peak, summit of the Sierra de la Demanda and the highest point in La Rioja.

El Rasillo is a town in Los Cameros that has a livestock tradition. Today it is a tourist town located between the swamp and the mountain. A very special corner that deserves a visit on wheels.

The Cueva del Santo is open to the public, since the door does not have a key. It is important to leave the site as we found it. According to legend, once upon a time a plague affected the women of the valley, for this reason the men approached the cave to ask the saint for his intermediation, thus beginning the tradition of only men going up on pilgrimage every year to the Cueva del Santo.

This mostajo or rowan is located a few meters from a path that runs through the Sierra de la Demanda. Rowans are small trees that rarely reach fifteen meters in height. However, this is a rowan tree to be highlighted, probably one of the largest known specimens from the Peninsula and surely one of the longest-lived.
