The Duero becomes increasingly swollen as it enters Roa. Here it receives the waters of the Riaza on its left bank. The seat of the Consejo Regulador de la Denominación de Origen Ribera del Duero, the town lies in a prominent position over the valley, which allows it to dominate the course of the river and the fertile meadows studded with riverside vineyards. The remains of the 13th century walls and the ancient ex-Colegiata de Santa María are two artistic examples that one can visit, in addition to the Iglesia de San Esteban and the Ermita de la Virgen de la Vega, the town's patron saint.
