Anguiano (Spanish: Anguiano) is a small town in the province of La Rioja, Spain. It is located near Nájera and has a population of about 546 people (2006).
Anguiano is famous for its caparrones, red beans that are usually eaten in a stew with chorizo, and a yearly festival is held honoring these beans.[2] The town is known as well for its traditional dance on stilts.[3] While the dance has been historically danced only by boys and young men, in 2025 a young woman danced for the first time in more than four centuries of tradition.[4]
