Church of Our Lady of the Three Springs

Highlight • Religious Site

This church, reddish in color due to the limestone, dates from the 13th century and is Romanesque in style. It is one of the Rioja jewels belonging to this period.

Water flows from the three springs from one of the most important aquifers in La Rioja. Water permeates through the sandstone, storing water throughout the year.

The Alto de la Pradilla is located at an altitude of 1,244 meters and has only six kilometers of ascent at an average of 5.2%. Located at the western end of La Rioja, this hill serves as the border with the province of Burgos. The start is smooth along a road in good condition that will gradually increase in terms of slope in a winding layout.
