Overview

Get out the copas (glasses) for La Rioja and some of the best red wines produced in the country. Wine goes well with the region鈥檚 ochre earth and vast blue skies, which seem far more Mediterranean than the Basque greens further north. In fact, it鈥檚 hard not to feel as if you鈥檙e in a different country altogether. The bulk of the vineyards line R铆o Ebro around the town of Haro, but some also extend into neighbouring Navarra and the Basque province of 脕lava. This diverse region offers more than just the pleasures of the grape, though, and a few days here can see you mixing it up in lively towns and quiet pilgrim churches, and even hunting for the remains of giant reptiles.
