Towns

This nice municipality of the historical territory of Alava belongs to the Cuadrilla de Laguardia-Rioja Alavesa. Located at a height of 696 metres, it is placed over the ancient pilgrimage ways of the Middle Ages. We will begin our visit in Los Husos archaeological site, discovered in 1965. The remains show human traces that date back to the Neolithic era. Likewise, the church of San Juan Bautista, from the 17th and 18th centuries, is very interesting too. On the other hand, we should mention the church of Santa María, with a Romanesque facade that dates back to the 12th century. Beautiful Sight The Toloño Mountain Range surrounds the municipality and forms a magnificent and charming landscape. A land that is ideal for quiet and relaxing walks. Kripan's main festival takes place in the beginning of September and is consecrated to the Virgin.
