Celtiberian Archaeological Site of Contrebia Leucade

Highlight • Historical Site

Remains of the oldest population settlements in La Rioja, located on the right bank of the Alhama river.

The pelendones, a Celtiberian people, settled in Contrebia Leukade in the Iron Age and built a fortification, urbanizing the land and building their houses carved into the rock.

Later, during the second half of the 4th century B.C. Different tribes arrived that expanded the town and reinforced it with a deep ditch dug into the rock and a wall that surrounded the entire city.

This spectacular archaeological site can be toured with a guided tour. It is mandatory to book by phone (941 19 71 19) or by email (contrebialeucade@gmail.com).

Cervera del Río Alhama

Highlight • Settlement

At the foot of the Sierra de Alcarama is the picturesque town of Cervera del Río Alhama.

Due to its excellent location, the town was hotly contested between Arabs and Christians. At the beginning of the 7th century the town was invaded by Muslims, leaving a great architectural heritage.

The town is also known for being one of the main producers of espadrilles, a shoe originating in ancient Egypt. In the same municipality is the Alpargata Museum, where the evolution of the sector is shown, from artisan manufacturing to its industrialization.

Cornago Castle

Highlight • Castle

Located at an altitude of 750 meters, within the Sierra de Alcarama, the town of Cornago has a long history, since the first documents found on the population date back to the 9th century.

The inhabitants of Cornago mainly worked in the agricultural sector until the arrival of the textile industry during the 19th century. With the closure of this industry and the decline of agriculture, during the 60s of the 20th century the town caused a great demographic decline.

The town stands out for its 18th century castle, raised above the houses, with privileged views of the town and the valley.
