Known as the "Capital of Seagulls", Alfaro is a unique stop on the Camino del Ebro in La Rioja. Its Colegiata of St Michael hosts the largest urban colony of white seagull in the world.

Discover Alfaro

Alfaro, one of the most important cities in Lower Rioja, offers pilgrims on the Ebro Way a unique and memorable stop along the entire route. Its main attraction is not only architectural but also natural: the Colegiata of St. Michael Archangel, an imposing Baroque temple built with brick, houses over its roof the largest urban colony of white stork in the world. The spectacle of hundreds of nests and the constant comings and goings of these birds is a wonder. For the walker, it's a unique experience and an exceptional photography opportunity. The city, of Roman origin, also has an interesting archaeological heritage and an interpretation center. As the head of the county, Alfaro provides all necessary services for pilgrims, from hostels to a good range of restaurants where you can start to taste the wines and Riojan cuisine. It's a stop that combines Baroque grandeur with a natural phenomenon extraordinary, a milestone that enriches the Way of St. James with its uniqueness.
