Ollauri: Discover Architecture, Wine and Landscape

For your time in Ollauri, three perspectives can be combined: architecture, wine and landscape.

When comparing holiday apartments in Ollauri, you can compare travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions on the offer pages. These three fields organise the comparison by travel period and the conditions displayed for each offer. Check the information for each offer and relate it to the period you have planned for Ollauri.

You can weigh the area's distinctive features according to your preferred daily rhythm: taking a close look at architectural forms creates a different focus from a cellar tour, while the route combines exercise and time planning. This comparison is intended as a guide, not as a prescribed itinerary.

Culture and Architecture

The parish church of San Salvador is a church built of dressed stone with a Latin cross layout; its construction dates to the second half of the 16th century.

The most important artistic feature of San Salvador is considered to be a Baroque high altar dating from around 1690. Its Solomonic columns are decorated with vines.

The Palacio de los Marqueses de Terán is a mid-17th-century palace with a square floor plan, two dressed-stone floors, a gated courtyard and heraldic coats of arms.

The Palacio de Pobes is a Baroque building with two floors and an attic; its façade features broken lines.

Architecture, wine and landscape can be considered as separate perspectives; they do not imply a fixed itinerary.

Wine and Cellars

At Conde de los Andes, a traditional wine-tourism visit includes access to the historic cellars and a wine tasting. The underground cellars extend for just under 1.5 kilometres.

A winery in Ollauri was founded in 1896 by Federico Paternina Josué through the merger of three wineries from Ollauri.

Bodega Marqués de Terán is located underground in a hill in the higher part of Ollauri and overlooks the Sierra de Cantabria, the Sierra de La Demanda and the Ebro Valley.

Bodegas Beronia offers a guided tour that includes a terrace with grapevines, the winery and a tasting of three wines with an appetiser.

For your personal planning, you can distinguish between a visit to the historic cellars with a wine tasting included, a guided tour with a tasting included and a route travelled using a different mode of transport.

Landscape and Trails

Cerro Churrumendi is considered the highest point in Ollauri and offers views across the Ebro Valley towards the Sierra de la Demanda and the mountain ranges of Toloño and Cantabria.

The “Del Ebro a la Piedad” wine trail runs between Haro and Casalarreina via Gimileo, Ollauri, Rodezno and Zarratón.

The route can be considered according to the available time frame and preferred mode of transport; distance, duration and difficulty level provide different points of comparison.

It is 15.8 km long, takes approximately 3.5 hours on foot or 1.2 hours by bicycle, has good-quality surfaces and a medium difficulty level.
