Santo Domingo de la Calzada – Nájera
The stage leads through the vast cultural landscape of La Rioja via Azofra and Cirueña to Nájera. Fields and vineyards accompany the Jerusalem Way, while the surrounding mountain ranges appear on the horizon. Nájera is located on the Río Najerilla and was once an important royal city. The Santa María la Real monastery with its royal pantheon serves as a reminder of this history. After the long days on the Meseta, the varied landscape of La Rioja feels increasingly vibrant and colorful.
