Shepherds driving their flocks on long seasonal migrations brought this mountain village its best years from the 16th century, and livestock still underpins life here. Viniegra de Abajo sits at 881 metres between the Camero Nuevo and the Sierra de la Demanda, with the Urbión river running through it. Trout rivers, a 16th-century parish church and a hermitage on a nearby summit round out a visit.
Highlights
- Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, built in the 16th century
- Hermitage of Santiago on a nearby summit, its saint carried in procession each summer
- Trout fishing in the Najerilla and Urbión rivers
- San Ildefonso winter festival on 23 January, with its 'bodigo' bread
- Canoe gathering on the Najerilla on the first Sunday of May
