The village of Barriobusto is found at the end of a narrow valley. During our walk through its streets, the tall mountains that loom on each side force us to concentrate our gaze on the stately mansions, some of which were built in the 18thcentury. You can still see the village´s olive oil press, which, despite being out of service, allows us to imagine how the liquid gold used to be extracted from olives.

San Millán is the most modern church of the entire region, as it was built at the beginning of the 19th-century. The altarpiece dates from the 17th-century and was brought here from the monastery of San Prudencio on Mount Laturce, in La Rioja.
