Culture and leisure in Elciego
Elciego, an historical village
Elciego breathes history in every corner and every street. Even if it is a small village, it has a broad historical and artistic heritage.
The most representative monument is San Andrés Parish Church built in the 16th century. Its two impressive towers are some of its remarkable elements, but not the only. This church has a great artistic potential since it brings together different architectural styles, from Romanic to Neoclassicism. Although San Andrés Church is usually close, you can arrange a guided tour at Elciego Tourist Office.
Tourists can also visit another temple, Nuestra Señora de la Virgen de la Plaza Hermitage, which is near the town hall. This 18th century religious monument is home to a sculpture of Virgen de la Plaza, the Patron Saint of Elciego. Daily service is hold there.
Besides these two Catholic buildings, Elciego has some other worthy places to visit: the town hall, Plaza Mayor and several palaces built between the 17th and the 18th centuries, such as Ramírez de la Piscina or Zárate Nabar Palaces and “Casa de los Hierros”.
“Casa de los Hierros” is the familiar name of Navarrete Ladrón de Guevara Palace. One of our wine brands is named after Manuel Navarrete Ladrón de Guevara, one of the most distinguished men of Elciego. Apart from these renowned buildings, walking through the streets of Elciego is a tourist attraction by itself. In spite of the passing of time, Elciego keeps its historical essence.

"Hemos estado dos noches. La verdad la habitación muy bien, limpia y la cama muy cómoda. Personal muy atento en general. El salón social un puntazo para tomar un vino tranquilo y picar algo. La visita a la bodega incluida en el precio de la habitación muy interesante, mejor incluso que algunas otras más conocidas."

"This place is defiantly worth a visit. The tour of the wine cellars and wine tasting afterwards was brilliant. Even though it was a bank holiday the manager took us on a tour himself, it was fabulous. The hotel is really lovely, the staff are great and we had one of the best days of our holiday. I can not recommend this place enough. There really is nothing not to like."
