The Monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla is a place of great importance in the La Rioja region of Spain. Founded in the 6th century AD by Saint Millán, this monastery has a rich history and a special connection with the Castilian language.

Crossroads in the heights: One track leads to Ezcaray. A path climbs to San Lorenzo. Another track descends to San Millán de la Cogolla. Another path disappears into the forest, with no exit. And a final track, heading south, soon forks into two: one leads to the Mansilla reservoir, and the other, also full of forks, takes us to Cruz de la Demanda. Choose your own adventure!

Nice climb to the Bonicaparra refuge. Riding at your own pace and enjoying the scenery is the best.

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

Good views of the mountains from the Vía Verde del Oja. The layout follows the old railway path through 2 stages. The path that runs along the old railway is 26 km long and a junction of 12 km with Haro has been conditioned, called the Oja-Tirón Green Route.
