Information
It’s worth taking a stroll through Calahorra’s historical centre to gaze in awe at its Cathedral, the old Islamic quarter, the arch and the old Roman forum, the church of San Andrés, the Plaza del Raso and the municipal museum which houses the famous effigy, the Dama Calagurritana, or the Carmelite convent with an impressive Christ statue by the Baroque sculptor Gregorio Fernández.
Calahorra is also a wine-growing area. Head out to Aldeanueva del Ebro, a little more than fifteen minutes from the hotel, to visit the first Wine Museum in La Rioja Baja, located in La Ermita de Nuestra Señora del Portal; or explore fantastic wineries where the exquisite wines of La Rioja are produced.
For a family trip we recommend the Dinosaurs' Route. The footprints of these prehistoric animals can be seen in more than forty sites in the Calahorra region, in nearby towns such as Enciso and Igea.
Environment
Beyond the town centre, there are several other alternatives. The Dinosaur Route, a family favourite, takes visitors to the sites where traces of these prehistoric animals have been found. These are also unique places due to the nature of their surroundings.
Calahorra is near Logroño, the provincial capital and one of the stops on the St. James’ Way. Here we find the Cathedral of Santa María la Redonda, which displays an image attributed to Michelangelo on its ornate façade. The Wine Route through the Rioja Alta or the Romanesque Route, of which there are great examples in the province, is also a must.
Calahorra belongs to the Network of Spanish Jewish Quarters and is famous for its Jornadas Sefardíes festival in September. The area’s cuisine is another significant tourist attraction. Guests can visit the Pepper Fair in October, which marks the pepper harvest and take advantage of the Jornadas de la Cazuelilla in November, a tapas route through the city.

The elegant dining room of the Parador de Calahorra is a space for culinary enjoyment with exquisite preparations that pamper the natural product. As well as vegetables, to which some gastronomic days are dedicated in April, pears in wine, asparagus, peppers and Rioja-style cod are other products that can be tasted, without forgetting the suckling lamb, both roast and cutlets, washed down with the prestigious wines of La Rioja.
