Ribera de Navarra

The itinerary begins in Ribaforada. Start by exploring the old church of San Blas, founded by the Knights Templar in the 12th century, and then discover the area’s industrial past with a visit to the Roman kiln, a former ceramic production center from the imperial era. The morning continues with a walk along the Imperial Canal of Aragon, an impressive feat of civil engineering that cuts through the town center and is ideal for learning about the region’s water history. The day ends at the Albergue Municipal, a comfortable, accessible place to rest after this first stage.

On the second day, the journey continues in Cortes, inviting you to dive into its impressive historical legacy. Step into the Cortes castle, a medieval gem that played a key role in the Kingdom of Navarre and visit the church of San Juan Bautista, where important royal agreements were signed in 1333. After exploring these monumental sites, reconnect with nature in the municipal park, a former 6.2-acre orchard that now features more than 90 botanical species and serves as the green heart of the Ebro Valley.

The last day focuses on art and archaeology in Cortes. You begin by exploring the Alto de la Cruz permanent exhibition, where you’ll discover how Iberian protohistoric communities once lived. The route continues with a quirky artistic twist at the hand painted ostrich egg museum, the only collection of its kind in Europe, and the creative recycling exhibition, where discarded objects are transformed into art. The journey concludes at El Baúl de los Recuerdos, a nostalgic space that pays tribute to traditional trades, providing the perfect finale to this experience filled with history and tradition.
