Cintruénigo is considered the world center for alabaster manufacturing, a stone worked in workshops using traditional methods to create beautiful pieces with stunning designs.

Situated on the border of Navarra and Castilla, Cintruénigo was the entry point for viceroys into the Old Kingdom. Its first written reference dates back to the year 911, in the will of Count Fernán González. There are beliefs that its original name was Cetrobriga, although others think it was called Contrevia or Cantabria. The option accepted by the most erudite is the name Cemtroneco.

In 1154, it was owned by the knight D. Pedro de Argaiz, who sold it with its castle to King Don Sancho el Fuerte of Navarra in 1219. It was recovered from the Arabs by D. Alfonso the Battler, King of Navarra, and for its valor and loyalty, he granted it the fuero of Sobrarbe and its arms.

In 1864, D. Francisco de Asís stayed for fifteen days, drinking the medicinal waters of Fitero and returning daily to the ostentatious and regal residence of the Sres. de Ligues, where he stayed.

In addition to alabaster manufacturing, Cintruénigo hosts various activities such as the production of quality wines, the commercialization of leather goods, and the manufacturing of wooden furniture and decorative objects. It has an industrial estate, located 5 kilometers from the access to the highway connecting the two strongest industrial centers in Spain: Barcelona and Bilbao.

Cintruenigo has significant infrastructure specially organized to accommodate tourists, including hotels, campsites, swimming pools, tennis courts, frontons, and a covered sports center.

Notable artistic points of interest within the town include the San Juan Bautista parish, the Town Hall, the Basilica of the Purísima, the Paretón, the Ligués House and Manor, the Virto Leoz House and Navascués House, the Parque de Europa, the Bullring, the Hermitage of San Francisco de Asís, the Parque de los Paseos, and the Plaza de la Concordia.

Cintruenigo's gastronomy is based on the exquisite natural products from the orchards, featuring a traditional cuisine with dishes that hold a pure flavor admired by visitors and locals alike, such as Calderillos, poached asparagus, mixed vegetable stews, pochas, and chilindrones.
