Legaria: Culture, Archaeology and Trails

The Church of San Martín is a tourist attraction in Legaria.

Several distinct focal points can be found side by side in Legaria: San Martín, houses with heraldic façades and the Palacio de cabo de armería form part of the architectural and local history. Pozo Remigio and the oppidum add Roman and Iron Age archaeology to this area. There is also the Romería a San Gregorio, theatre, music and dance, as well as seasonal asparagus and peppers. Rather than a single building or a single route, various named aspects can be given different weight in further travel planning.
