Alfaro, Municipality in La Rioja, Spain

Located on the banks of the Ebro River, Alfaro extends across 194 square kilometers of terrain at an elevation of 310 meters.

The settlement originated as the Roman municipality of Graccuris, established by Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus during the Roman occupation of Hispania.

The Collegiate Church of San Miguel Arcangel stands as the primary religious monument in Alfaro, displaying different architectural periods throughout its construction.

The municipality maintains direct road connections to major cities through the N-232 national highway and AP-68 motorway, facilitating regional transportation.

The rooftop of the Collegiate Church hosts the largest urban stork colony in Europe, with hundreds of birds returning each year to nest.
