History and what to see
Mañeru and Cirauqui, a hillside village with cobbled streets and a stretch of Roman road at its exit, open a stage of vineyards. Lorca and Villatuerta precede Estella, “the Toledo of the north”: the Palace of the Kings of Navarre (civil Romanesque), San Pedro de la Rúa and the Cárcel bridge over the Ega.
