May 3, 2024, La Santa Abandoned Village

Reaching this abandoned village requires you to do some steep climbing. The ruins are fascinating. You'll find the remains of houses, a church, and even the town fountain. Not all of the ruins are accessible but you can enter as if you were walking into town. I recommend proceeding with caution, I don't think anyone is keeping track of the state of the ruins. I poked my head into one of the ruined houses and found it full of cow bones. Definitely a creepy spot but one worth visiting if you're willing to make the climb.

It is located in the Leza Valley, between Leza on the Leza River and Soto en Cameros. Fairly quiet road and very busy with cyclists throughout the year. Sitting and watching the flight of the vultures in the canyon is a privilege.

Torremuña is a town that had only 13 inhabitants in 2011. It is crowned by the church of Santa María La Blanca, which is in ruins. In ancient times, the town prospered thanks to the production of cereals, legumes and wool yarn. Little by little it became depopulated and in 1971 three Spanish-Flemish tables from the 16th century were stolen from its church.

Many of the towns and villages in the Camero Viejo region still preserve their meadows today. Long ago, the pastures were very important for these rural areas where cattle were the main source of wealth. Unfortunately, today only a few have been well preserved to walk inside. Luckily, the San Román pasture meets that requirement and exploring it is a delight.

Small town in the Cameros region on the slopes of the Leza valley. Impressive views due to its altitude.

The vulture viewpoint is located on the Cidacos greenway, a short distance from Arnedillo. From here you can see the rock that is just opposite, on the other side of the road and where you can see all the activity of the colony of vultures that reside here. Around 200 pairs live and fly in this area. You can see the nesting areas between the holes in the rocks.

La Santa is a beautiful abandoned town located in the Jubera river valley, in the province of La Rioja Media. The lands and houses were being abandoned as time passed and its population went from being 200 inhabitants in 1880 to having none in 1980.

A small ruined village. It is currently uninhabited although it was of great importance since it had factories of coarse cloth, yarn and cloths that supplied Soto. It is located on a hill between the ravines of Santa María and Hayedo at a height of a thousand meters.
