Nájera and the Najerilla valley

Nájera with a driver:
monasteries, mountains and the Najerilla valley

Quick answer

A private driver in Nájera is useful for much more than the Camino: visiting the Monastery of Santa María la Real, getting up to San Millán de la Cogolla in about 20 minutes, reaching Ezcaray, Haro or Logroño without a car, and getting to Bilbao Airport in around 1 h 20. We pick you up at your home, hotel or casa rural (country cottage).

Nájera was once the royal seat of the Kingdom of Navarre and today is the main town of the Najerilla valley. From here, in less than half an hour, you can reach the monasteries of San Millán, the Sierra de la Demanda mountains, Ezcaray or the wineries of the Rioja Alta. For locals, for anyone spending a few days in a country cottage in the valley, or for businesses in the area, having a trusted driver makes life much simpler.

Days out with a driver from Nájera

  • The monasteries route: Santa María la Real in the morning and Yuso and Suso in the afternoon, with your driver waiting for you between visits.
  • A mountain escape: Ezcaray, the Oja valley and, in season, the Valdezcaray ski resort.
  • Wine in the Rioja Alta: wineries in Haro, Briones or San Asensio, with tastings at the winery and no need to drive. For full days, see our Rioja Alta wine route with a driver.
  • Valley festivals: the Crónicas Najerenses (historical pageant) every summer in front of the monastery, or the Danza de los Zancos in Anguiano — days when parking is difficult.

What to see in Nájera on a visit

The old town is easy to explore on foot between the river and the reddish cliff: the Monastery of Santa María la Real with its royal pantheon and the Cloister of the Knights, the caves carved into the rock and the riverside walk along the Najerilla. If you are also a pilgrim and need a stage skip or want to send your backpack ahead, we have a dedicated Camino de Santiago transfer service in Nájera, as well as Camino luggage transfers across La Rioja.

A service for locals and businesses in the valley

Much of what we are asked to do in Nájera has nothing to do with tourism: taking a relative to a medical appointment in Logroño and waiting for them, collecting someone from the station or the airport, or moving a valley company's clients between their hotel and the company's premises. All with a fixed price agreed before the journey, an assigned driver and, if you need it, an invoice in your company's name.
