Nice little place for a break. You can get a lot of things in the café and the small butcher's shop next door has a good selection. A steep climb leads up to the rock castle. You should definitely do it. Fantastic view of the Rioja.

This recreational area is located in the parking lot of a small renovated church overlooking the small stream not far from the village. Quiet area with tables and fountains to rest. The Roman bridge stands out.

Gothic-style castle, dating from the late fourteenth century, located in the center of the Cuzcurrita de Río Tirón municipality, in La Rioja Alta. Built with ashlar masonry from the region, the castle stands out for its square-plan keep. In addition, the fortification took advantage of the river as a defense ditch. Although you cannot visit its interior, it is worth contemplating it from the outside while walking along the banks of the Tirón River.

Elegant temple of Baroque work from the 18th century that stands next to the Tirón River. The church was built between 1753 and 1766 with stone blocks extracted from the quarries near the municipality. It stands out for its unique façade where curved elements are used that manage to convey the sensation of movement and dynamism. Right in the center of the façade rises a tower with an octagonal section body with columns.
