Navarrete is halfway between Logroño and Nájera.
And although it's not the end of the stage of the Camino de Santiago as it passes through La Rioja, it's a very important and interesting historical point where every pilgrim should stay for a few days to rest the body and enrich the soul with some of the gems that only this land offers.
Its main church hides one of the largest and most dazzling altarpieces in Spain that you shouldn't miss, as well as one of the only two remaining incense burners in the country , along with the botafumeiro of the Santiago de Compostela cathedral.
Navarrete is one of the leading pottery centers in Spain, so it's also worth seeing how lifelong artisans work with clay that stands out for its quality.
Here you have several wineries at your fingertips that you can visit without deviating from the path, unlike other areas of La Rioja, where you have to travel several kilometers to reach visitable wineries.
Moreover, you can access multiple activities and experiences: horseback riding, hiking routes among vineyards, cycling routes, bike rentals, nearby golf courses, the municipal pool surrounded by grass and trees...
And, above all, here is one of the accommodations most highly rated by pilgrims for its exquisite treatment and comfort, where the owners personally attend to you to make you feel at home.
This is Casa Peregrinando, a charming guesthouse in an old 17th-century palace, decorated with great taste, with a pleasant courtyard where you can rest peacefully.
And all this at a more affordable price than a hotel of its style.
We only have 5 rooms, so we recommend you book right away to avoid missing out.
