Ribagorda, a village of Sotorribas, stands at the foot of a slope. Its hermitage has a simple round-arched doorway, voussoirs beneath a bevelled band, and a semicircular drum-shaped east end: hence its place on the Romanesque route. Inside is the Virgen de la Horcajada, carried in procession by villagers every 8 September. Around are wheat or sunflower fields, with mountains beyond.
