Established in the northwest of La Rioja, between the mountain of Toloño (part of the mountain chain of Sierra de Cantabria) and the left margin of the Ebro river, Briñas is a priviledged village for vine cultivation.
Some researchers place the roman villa of Deóbriga on the Dondón’s meander, near the actual Briñas, where a bridge over the Ebro would have existed. This bridge over the Ebro would have communicated both margins and allowed the transit from the Conchas de Haro passage, passage along which it is known that Iron Age populations existed.
