The way · Sajazarra

You approach the walls of Sajazarra, thrilled by the hustle and bustle you hear from inside. This enclave, on a promontory surrounded by the river Mardancho, was strategically chosen for its natural defense. This street was the main road connecting Miranda de Ebro with Haro, crossing the river by a bridge of medieval or perhaps Roman origin. For centuries, the river not only served as protection, but also as a source of water, irrigation and food, providing crabs and water rats to the inhabitants of the village.
