En uno de sus valles recorrido por el río Iregua, está el Camero Nuevo, tierra de bosques, pastizales, cumbres y pequeños valles, donde se sitúan 13 pueblos con historia, tradiciones y leyendas, que siglos atrás se agruparon bajo la denominación de Hermandad de las 13 Villas.
El viajero intuye rápidamente que Viguera fue un enclave importante donde se unieron influencias de varios pueblos. Su acceso porticado nos habla de antiguo enclave defensivo, y un paseo a su mirador nos confirma su privilegiada situación.
Ese aspecto rural y tradicional, contrasta con su riqueza fabril basada en el aprovechamiento de cal y yeso, y en una industria chacinera surgida de la matanza familiar y que ha alcanzado un gran prestigio nacional.
Entre sus peñas intuimos el cambio de La Rioja frutera, vinícola y hortelana, hacia un territorio ganadero y forestal. Viguera dispone de otros dos núcleos de población, sobre la carretera N-111: Panzares y Castañares de las Cuevas.
Su población en 2017 era de 408 habitantes. Altitud: 698 m.

The traveller quickly senses that Viguera was an important site where influences of several towns were united. Its arcades indicate an old defensive enclave and a walk to its viewpoint confirms its privileged situation.
This rural and traditional aspect contrasts with its industrial wealth, based on the use of lime and gypsum and in a pork-butcher industry that emerged from the home slaughtering, which has achieved great national prestige.
Among its rocks, we perceive the change from the fruity, wine and horticultural Rioja towards a farming and forestry territory. Viguera has two other population centres on the road N-111: Panzares and Castañares de las Cuevas.
Population in 2017: 408 inhabitants. Height: 698 m.
