San Martín De Unx is an ideal destination for a stay focused on two themes: Romanesque churches and wine experiences. Cultural highlights include a crypt beneath parts of a church and a church that was once part of the town walls. Wine offerings range from annual festivals and a walking tour to guided tours and tastings. The mountains of the Sierra de Ujué and the Sierra de Guerinda provide a setting for further opportunities to hike and cycle.
Romanesque churches and local history
The Church of San Martín de Tours is a Romanesque building with striking sculptural decoration. Its crypt lies beneath the presbytery and part of the nave. The church also houses a Romanesque baptismal font featuring depictions of human figures. Alongside the architecture itself, the location of the crypt and the figurative decoration of the baptismal font are therefore central features.
The Church of Santa María del Pópulo dates from the late 13th to early 14th century. It was built against the town walls and was once part of them. By comparison, the features of San Martín de Tours draw attention to sculpture, the crypt, and the baptismal font; Santa María del Pópulo links its architectural history to the town’s fortifications. Those interested in Romanesque architecture will find two distinct ways to explore the town’s history here.
Annual wine events
Día del Rosado is an annual festival featuring wine tastings, routes through the wineries, cultural activities, and an extensive range of food. The individual program items may vary from year to year. The festival brings together several kinds of experiences; those looking for a clearly defined walking format can try Enorunx instead.
Enorunx is an annual, 11-kilometer wine tourism walk in San Martín de Unx. It connects local wineries and includes tastings of wine, pintxos, and migas, as well as a visit to the crypt of the Church of San Martín de Tours. The route and participating wineries may vary with each edition. With its set distance and visit to the crypt, Enorunx differs from the varied program of Día del Rosado.
Tours, tastings, and a cycling route
“Vino Románico” combines a guided walk through the medieval streets with a tasting of a wine from the region. Listed as available year-round, the experience also includes a visit to the Church of San Martín de Tours and its crypt. Check the tour’s availability before your trip.
The “Ruta del Rosado” is a 9-kilometer cycling route with a low level of difficulty, suitable for the whole family. It passes through vineyards used mainly for rosé wines. The landscape also includes elms and poplars along the Barranco de Torres; the route follows the service road of the Canal de Navarra. Trail conditions and signage may change, so check them before setting out.
“Alma de Unx” combines a tasting of four wines with typical regional products. A visit to Bodega San Martín is also listed for 2026, including a 360° virtual reality experience about the winery’s more than 100-year history. Check availability in advance, and confirm the operating days for the 2026 visit.

Availability and booking conditions may change; check them in advance.
Landscape and practical information
San Martín de Unx is surrounded by the mountains of the Sierra de Ujué and the Sierra de Guerinda. The area is well suited to hiking and cycling; the Ruta del Rosado offers a specific cycling route with a stated length and difficulty level. Wine-related tours have different focuses: Enorunx is a walk, while “Sed de Aventura” combines the mountain vineyards with an off-road vehicle tour.
For practical orientation in town, there are two municipal parking options with different features: a municipal car park is located close to the main square. Next to the municipal swimming pools, there is a parking area suitable for motorhomes. If you are looking for a hotel in San Martín De Unx, your travel interests can guide your plans—for example, the Romanesque churches, an annual wine event, a tasting, or the cycling route. The various experiences have different formats and conditions; they do not need to be combined into a single itinerary.
