superb place with a magnificent view, deep in a lost valley. The hebrrge monastery still has lines but also functions as a hotel, with simple but very comfortable rooms and a very healthy meal.

6 km climb from ANGIANO, not very hard but it depends on the pace, especially the last 2 km.

Very quiet place to start hiking and see the activity of the monastery

Emblematic place of La Rioja where the patron saint of La Rioja, the Virgin of Valvanera, is located. If you go up by road, the last 5 kilometers from the fork in the LR-113 road are demanding and add to the accumulated unevenness if you arrive from Anguiano. It can be reached by paths for both mountain biking and hiking. Keep an eye on your mobile as there is not much coverage in the area.

The leafiness of the trees of the Valvanera valley accompanies you in a large part of your way to protect you with its shade from the sun's rays.

The Valvanera valley, where the Valvanera monastery is located, is located in the most rugged and steep part of the Distercios mountains. Those wooded patches that can be seen from the religious center are predominantly beech forests combined with mixed forests of abundant ash trees, common oak groves and montane holm oak groves.

The Valvanera Monastery is located in a truly privileged setting. The building is beautiful and the views are amazing. So far many pilgrimages have been made from Logroño. Today, the monks who inhabit it sell a very famous liquor and offer accommodation and restaurants.
