Travel to La Rioja

Overview

La Rioja

There's certainly more to La Rioja than its vineyards, although the importance of the latter can sometimes overshadow the region's other assets, which you'll soon appreciate once you've finished sampling the local wine. Indeed, this is one wine of protected geographical status that very few palates can resist! La Rioja does, nevertheless, boast countless other assets, despite the fact that it is a small peninsular region.

Lovers of fine wine will be in their element here.

Our Editorial team's advice

This is a region marked with a succession of hills, mountains and other precipitous landscapes, such as the Sierra de Toloño, and all of this accompanied by forest-covered massifs as far as the eye can see? Welcome to La Rioja. The cradle of Spain's wine country, one of the valleys rich with vineyards is that of Najerilla. Every town displays traces of oenology and offers the possibility to taste some Spanish wines, accompanied by many different types of appetisers. Among the cities, a stop in Logroño, the capital of La Rioja, is essential. Stroll along Mayor Street or around Martínez Zaporta Square, where the night life is fantastic. For those with a thirst for knowledge, the region has a cultural heritage that is more than satisfactory. The stone bridge, the Murallas de Revellín (city walls), the Concathedral, etc.: curious visitors will have a lot to choose from.
