Pilgrim amongst vines
The Way of St James, the leading European Cultural Route and a Heritage of Humanity, is one of the tourist routes that is most used by travellers to discover the history, art and culture of La Rioja.
Since the discovery of the Apostle’s grave at Santiago de Compostela in the 9th Century, the Way of St James has served as a communication route for new ideas, techniques, cultures and life styles between the different regions and communities it crosses through.
In Logroño the French Route, coming from the Pyrenees through Navarre and Aragon, converges with the Jacobean Route of the Ebro Valley, which starts from the Mediterranean and follows the Roman road between Tarragona and Astorga, passing through the once-Roman towns of Alfaro, Calahorra and Varea in La Rioja.
