Arnedo

Located in the Cidacos River valley at 550 meters elevation, Arnedo extends across 85 square kilometers surrounded by mountains of rocks and sandstone.

The settlement traces its origins to the Neolithic age, with Romans building fortifications in the 2nd century BC, followed by Moorish occupation in the 8th century.

The Shoe Museum contains an extensive collection of traditional footwear manufacturing equipment, representing the town's primary industrial heritage since the early 1900s.

The town maintains direct road connections via LR-134, positioned 17 kilometers from Calahorra and 49 kilometers from the regional capital Logroño.

The medieval Castle of Arnedo, built upon Roman foundations during the 9th century, served as the region's principal defensive fortress throughout the Reconquista period.
