The Arribes aren't only nature: they're centuries of life clinging to the stone. Medieval villages, cellars carved into rock and Romanesque hermitages that tell the story of a borderland.

What you'll experience

You'll explore Fermoselle, the 'capital of the Arribes', with its more than a thousand underground cellars carved centuries ago; you'll wander stone streets, visit viewpoints and hermitages, and discover a cuisine and a wine with character of their own.

Why here, in the Arribes

The Arribes Denomination of Origin holds gems like the native Juan García grape, Atlantic in character, fresh and singular. Every village, every cellar and every dish is a chapter of a culture that has kept itself authentic.

Highlights
  • Fermoselle and its 1,000-plus cellars carved into rock, centuries old
  • Romanesque hermitages, castles and stone villages frozen in time
  • Tastings of DO Arribes wine and the native Juan García grape
  • Local cuisine and living ethnographic heritage

Culture is best savoured without haste. Stay at La Rueca and make the Arribes your home for a few days: time to see it, live it and raise a toast to it.
