course
The Río Neila rises in a mountain cave in the Sierra de la Demanda in the far east of the province of Burgos about 5 km northwest of the village of Neila and flows first in a southeast, then later in a northerly direction through the La Rioja region to join the Río Najerilla at Villavelayo flow out.
Sometimes the Río Neila is also seen as the source of the Río Najerilla, which only changes its name at Villavelayo.
