La zona serrana de La Rioja posee abundantes yacimientos de huellas de dinosaurios.
Villoslada is a good example of a mountain village. Its forestry, livestock and textile activities have shaped its urban plan, and the departure of its inhabitants to “the Americas” marked many aspects of its local history.
It is located within the Sierra de Cebollera Natural Park and for decades it was a destination for hunters, fishermen and vacationers. Many certain age Riojans learned to ski in the area of Hoyos de Iregua.
The presence of the patroness of the Sierra in this district brings thousands of devotees every year to visit her chapel, and many keep the blessed oil and get “charity” of chorizo and meat at the chapel festivities.
During the summer, the area of Achichuelo has gathered camps and families near the cold waters of the Iregua. Its cuisine recalls its pastoralist past and “caldereta” (stew) and “migas” (crumbs) are consumed, highlighting the importance of pork sausages.
It had 323 inhabitants in 2017. Altitude: 1.079 m.
