You will visit the Monastery of La Oliva, a Cistercian monastery founded in the mid-12th century, which was once one of the most important in the Kingdom of Navarre for its architecture, library and territorial possessions.
After the visit, you’ll make your way to the village of Ujué, built on top of a hill, which
was once a stronghold, first against the Muslims and later against the neighbouring kingdom of Aragón. At its highest point is the Church of Santa María, which looks more like a fortress than a sanctuary. Inside it houses an image of the Virgin Mary, one of the most beautiful Romanesque sculptures in Navarre. There you’ll enjoy a traditional lunch of shepherd’s bread crumbs, known as migas, and lamb grilled over vine shoots.
Having recovered your strength, you’ll make your way to the medieval town of Olite, royal seat of the Kingdom of Navarre which still has its medieval structure of narrow streets lined with stone houses and two important churches. Here you will visit its Royal Palace.
To end the day you’ll head for an equestrian farm spread over more than 200,000 m2 with 35 horses, a team of oxen and 50 wild bulls. Here you will enjoy an equestrian display and take a jaunt in a horse-drawn carriage; for the boldest members of the group, there will be the opportunity of a short ride around the installations on horseback.
