Nava De Roa: Discover Wine, Culture and Nature

If you would like to get to know Nava de Roa with a specific connection to wine, the “Inmersion en el terroir” experience offered by Bodegas y Viñedos Monteabellón is a clear starting point. It includes a tour of the vineyard and winery with six interactive stations. The same experience also includes an aperitif with two wines at the Mirador de La Blanquera. This allows wine-related impressions to be considered alongside cultural and landscape topics when planning your visit to the area.

Wine and Cultural Heritage

The Ermita de Santa Ana is located on Monte Calvario; it was built in the Baroque style and is currently in ruins. Traditional wine cellars have been preserved on the slopes of Monte Calvario; there are also remains of old wine presses there. The underground wine cellars of Valreinas are located on Monte Calvario in the municipality of Nava de Roa.

In the area surrounding Nava de Roa are the Palacio de los Zúñiga, the Castillo de Curiel and the Ermita del Santo Cristo, which is considered a pilgrimage chapel. The Pajares archaeological site lies in the wider regional surroundings of Nava de Roa. In Nava de Roa itself, examples of traditional architecture with half-timbered walls have been preserved, including buildings that survived the town fire in the 19th century.

Nature

The springs Fuente de Valdepila, Fuente de San Adrián, Fuente de Hontanares and Fuente de Valdemeso are also located in the area surrounding Nava de Roa. The Sendero de Abellón, also known as PRC-BU 166, offers views of Monte Abellón, the valley of the La Pradina stream and the slopes of the Páramo de Corcos. Along this route, you can also observe rabbits and common woodland birds such as great tits, crested tits, wood pigeons and coal tits. The combination of landscape views and wildlife sightings gives nature planning two clearly distinguishable focuses.

Culture and the Annual Calendar

The parish church of San Antolín Mártir in Nava de Roa was built in the 17th century. The festival in honour of San Antolín Mártir takes place in Nava de Roa on 2 September. The festival in honour of San Gregorio Nacianceno is celebrated in Nava de Roa on 9 May. The two fixed calendar dates provide different points of reference throughout the year.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Nava de Roa, you can compare travel dates, room categories and cancellation policies on the accommodation pages. Which of these details you give greater weight to can be linked to your preferred focus—wine, culture, landscape or nature observation—without limiting your choice of destination to just one aspect.
