Dear Traveller:

You have chosen to visit a region small in size, only about 5.000 km2, but one which can boast varied natural scenery, hospitable people, ancestral traditions and some of the most well known quality wines in the world.

La Rioja, bringing culture and cuisine together is linked by name to wine. Wine is the basis of its wealth and our flag bearer to the world.

Both culture and art reach their highest in the Suso and Yuso monasteries in San Millan, the birthplace of written Spanish and architecturally outstanding since 1997 a UNESCO world heritage site.

The natural beauty of La Rioja is a continual surprise: mountain peaks and ranges, deep valleys offer a contrast in colour and scenery at any time of the year.

La Rioja also preserves its most ancient past with the prehistoric dinosaur prints of La Rioja Baja, where visitors can revisit the Cretacian period when these grass eating giants inhabited these marshy lands.

Even more importantly our cities, villages and hamlets which epitomise our character: kindness and hospitality which make you immediately feel at home.

We look forward to your visit dear traveller. We want to be your choice for your next trip away where you will find good cuisine, culture and tranquility.
