One of the biggest attractions of summer in Rioja is \u201cThe Kingdom of N\u00e1jera\u201d, a magnificent spectacle that features, among others, texts by Lope de Vega and takes place in Plaza de Santa Mar\u00eda, N\u00e1jera. The chronicles will be staged this year from July 19 to 22, and again on July 27 and 28, to mark the 50th anniversary.<\/p>\n

In a performance involving the participation of 300 local actors, the show is based on texts written by a monk from Santa Mar\u00eda la Real in around 1110 CE, following a request from the Monastery of San Zoilo, in Carri\u00f3n de los Condes. They chronicle the history of the area and the town, from the first settlers to the downfall of the Kingdom of N\u00e1jera.<\/p>\n

Almost every family in N\u00e1jera has at least one member who has participated to some degree in the historical re-enactment over the last 50 years.\u00a0\u00a0 If one thing defines this marvellous medieval event, it is the participation and commitment of the people of N\u00e1jera.<\/p>\n

As the Friends of the N\u00e1jera Chronicles Association explained, the origin of this re-enactment dates back to a \u201csummer\u2019s evening in 1968\u201d when \u201ca group of friends read a script about the history of the Monastery of Santa Mar\u00eda La Real.”<\/p>\n

The \u2018Chronicles\u2019 were staged for the first time on August 14, 1969 and “while historical re-enactments are very popular nowadays, they were a complete novelty in N\u00e1jera at the time.” In fact, the Naj\u00e9ra Chronicle is the oldest historical representation of its kind in Spain.<\/p>\n
