Discover El Mollar

El Mollar brings together two distinct themes for travel planning: connections to San Cayetano and the Rallye Riojano programs. San Cayetano is associated with a church community in El Mollar; a chapel in the town is named after him, and his feast day is August 7. San Cayetano is celebrated on August 7; the Rallye programs come from the historical editions of 2024 and 2025. For your travel planning, these are different points of reference in time: a feast day and two historical rally editions with specific special stages. If you are looking for hotels in El Mollar, decide whether a specific feast or rally date should determine your travel period, or whether you would like to choose the town as a destination independently of any event.

Getting Your Bearings and Choosing When to Travel

A 2023 article states that El Mollar is 14 kilometers from the city of Chamical. A 2023 article gives the distance between El Mollar and the city of Chamical as 14 kilometers. By contrast, the 12.78 kilometers in the 2025 rally schedule refers to the length of the Las Talas–El Mollar special stage.

If you want a feast or rally event to determine your travel period, check the dates for the year you have in mind. The 2022 calendar entry and the 2024 and 2025 rally programs refer to different years; for your travel decision, what matters is the date for the year in which you are traveling.
