Our guide will accompany you through the town of Alquezar and we will visit the Castle and collegiate church of Santa Maria La Mayor. Built in the ninth century AD. C. by Khalaf ibn Rasid to stop the Christian kingdoms of the north. Around 1067, it was conquered by Sancho Ramírez, son of Ramiro I, and became a Christian fortress called "Castrum Alqueçaris". As the process of the Reconquest progresses towards Barbastro or Huesca, this fortress loses its military and strategic importance and becomes a religious institution. It is in 1099 when Sancho Ramírez decides to endow Alquézar with a community of Augustinian canons. To do this, he built a Romanesque collegiate church that would be replaced in the 16th century AD. C. for another late Gothic and of which only the atrium with historiated capitals is preserved. In the fourteenth century AD C. the Gothic cloister was built but in a style close to Romanesque.

It was the best trip we have ever had.

Published on Sep, 2024

Jorge and Pablo led us into the unknown. We learned how to make wine while looking at the vineyards and then were taught wine tasting. Alquezar is an old town where time seems to have stopped, and we had a wonderful time there. It was the best trip we have ever had.

Wow, Just Wow!

Marta was amazing! I not only had The best wine, but i was informed about history, architecture and culture. I am From Sonoma county Wine country and I learned. many new things visiting this Spanish winery. For example, in Spain, they use tractors to harvest the grapes where in California they are hand picked It was incredible. We then had a wonderful lunch and tour of a medieval city. Do any tour by this company. Jorge and Marta are the best! I really liked that they did not cancel tour because I was the only English speaker. I had a one on one tour. Wow. Just wow. Don’t pass up any Rutica 41 tours.

Magical day filled with good wine and good company.

Our guide Jorge was wonderful! He was knowledgeable on food, wine and history of the area. Jorge picked us up at our hotel on time, after a short drive we arrived at a small organic winery to do tastings, we proceeded to Alquezar and visited the town and the castle, and ate a wonderful lunch with local food with Jorge’s guidance. The drive had many great views and the entire day was magical. I highly recommend this tour and any tours by Jorge and Rutica 41. Thank you!
