Navarre Riverside

To the south of the Autonomous Community is La Ribera de Navarre, in what is known as the Ebro valley. This area is the hottest in the territory, and brings together abruptly contrasting landscapes, with the semi-desert of the Bardenas Reales and the irrigated area of the market gardens.
The gastronomy in this region is of great importance, due to the richness of its market garden produce, with their own quality names such as Cogollos de Tudela (lettuce), Artichokes, Cardoon, Borrage and the piquillo peppers of Lodosa, which together with its long winemaking tradition, make it a very special gastronomic area.
The Ribera de Navarre has always been a meeting place throughout history, as we find the influence of the Iron Age, the Roman era and traces of the Romanesque and Baroque periods in art and architecture that continue to this day. Different peoples have also coexisted in these regions and who, despite their historical differences, have managed to remain united over time, producing a mixture of Jewish, Muslim and Christian culture. A good example of this can be seen in its buildings, such as the Cathedral of Santa María de Tudela, built on an old mosque. Corella, however, it is also the capital of the Navarrese Baroque along with other cities such as Fitero and Cascante.
In the Ribera, each town houses an unexpected treasure: a disturbing landscape, the legacy of a vanished civilisation, an artistic jewel, the memory of monks and knights, a unique tradition or a great popular festival. And throughout, simple, passionate and hospitable people make rural tourism a reality available for anyone who wants to feel at home.

Throughout the extreme changes in the surroundings of the Ribera, we find simple and friendly people who make rural tourism a reality to enjoy and learn from.

Get to know this wonderful environment and enjoy the most authentic gastronomy, cooked with care, with the best local products from the quality riverside market gardens, and take a little of the joy of its people home with you
