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.

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).
