What to see and do in Lapuebla de Labarca

Lapuebla de Labarca
Village
Municipality of 868 inhabitants that arose next to a ferry crossing over the Ebro river connecting the Navarrese Sonsierra with Castile, from which its name derives. In 1369 it had only 5 tax-paying households; Philip IV granted it independence from Laguardia and the title of villa on 11 June 1631. The present concrete bridge over the Ebro dates from 1939.
Puente sobre el Ebro de Lapuebla de Labarca
Historical milestone
The village's name recalls the old ferry that used to cross the Ebro at this point; it was one of the last settlements of Rioja Alavesa to be established, first documented in 1369 as a hamlet of Laguardia, holding the title of villa since 1631. The ferry was replaced by a suspension bridge and, in 1939, by the current concrete bridge.
