Calahorra, the historic center of Rioja Baja, is deeply rooted in its Roman past and is now known as Spain's "Vegetable Capital." Here you'll discover the deep traces of ancient Calagurris Nassica Iulia, including impressive Roman sewers and the remains of a bridge in the historic center. The imposing Santa María Cathedral, an example of the transition from Gothic to Baroque, as well as the Church of Santiago, define the cityscape. The fertile plain of the Cidacos River shapes the local gastronomy; in the markets, you'll find the region's excellent produce. A stroll through the Old Town's winding alleys leads to hidden squares and the Diocesan Museum with its art treasures. For an authentic experience, a visit in spring is recommended, when the fields are in full bloom and local festivals celebrate agricultural tradition.
