Mañeru - TOURISM NAVARRE

MAÑERU TOURISM

Mañeru has always been a transit area. There are many pilgrims who are on their way to Santiago, and it is already known that where many people pass through, the land is hospitable. The hostels are for rest, and the wine for thirst, especially if it is rosé, which is very fresh and serves as an accompaniment to the rich gastronomy of the area. In its mountains is the hermitage of Santa Bárbara, a place of devotion and battles, fought by Carlists and Liberals, which preserves a few ruins and a lot of history. We are on the borders of Estella and Mañeru land, due to its good communications, it is an ideal place to discover an environment rich in landscapes and monuments.

EMBLASONED HOUSES. Many of the robust stone houses proudly display shields on their facades that date from the 16th to the 19th centuries.

ST. PETER'S CHURCH. Built in the 18th century in neoclassical style, it has a unique Latin cross plan with a half-orange vault. The elegant baroque tower stands out on the spacious decks.

GOOD WINES. Due to climate and tradition, Mañeru is a land of wines. In 1960, a group of 120 local winegrowers created the Bodega Cooperativa La Cruz, which takes great care of its vines and takes great care in the final product, with special mention to the rosé.

SANTIAGO'S ROAD. We will see the pilgrims pass by on their way to Santiago. Many spend the night in the local hostels to continue the next day, they still have 679 km left to arrive.

BRIDGES AND THE LAUNDRY. The Morea stream runs through Mañeru and several stone bridges cross the path. A humble laundry reminds us of the hard work of women in a time not too distant.

PRACTICAL TIPS

-Mañeru is very well connected through the highway that connects Pamplona with Logroño, between the towns of Puente la Reina and CIrauqui. The historic center is small, the streets are narrow, and we recommend parking at the entrance of the town, trying to disturb as little as possible.

-Mañeru is a stopover and resting place on the Camino de Santiago, and has a cozy hostel for pilgrims.

-There is a bar next to the church, municipal swimming pools, a pharmacy and a grocery store.

-It is a land of wines, and next to the historic center is the La Cruz cooperative where you can buy wine directly. We recommend trying the rosé.

-We recommend a hiking route that goes up to the hermitage of Santa Bárbara, a place of cutos and battles, and from there you can go down to Puente la Reina to return along the Camino de Santiago.
