Arija is a small municipality north of Burgos, Spain, that dates back from more than thousand years. It comprised of the Alfoz de Santa Gadea.
The recent history of Arija is linked to the factory of Cristalería Española S.A., that in 1906 settled in the lands of Arija. A French company of the Saint-Gobain Emporium, founded in 1665 by royal privilege of Luis XIV, was specialized in the manufacture of flat glass.
