THE HOME OF THE MOTHER OF LA RIOJA
The Spiritual Home of La Rioja, a living history that has been kept alive thanks to the faith of those inhabiting it and the devotion of the people of La Rioja to Our Lady of Valvanera, patron saint of La Rioja. The Valvanera Monastery is also a place where people reconnect with themselves and with nature. A calm retreat. A place to revisit history through its walls and the beauty of its surroundings. A natural environment brimming with sources of water and beech forests, where we offer hospitality and great food in addition to peace and quiet.
