Join us for a three-day getaway (2 nights) to La Rioja and Zaragoza, where you can discover and enjoy one of the most renowned wine regions in the world and two cities with a rich tradition of tapas in Spain: Logroño and Zaragoza.

During this trip, you'll have the opportunity to visit the impressive Marqués de Riscal winery, designed by the renowned Canadian architect Frank Gehry. We'll also explore Laguardia, the capital of La Rioja Alavesa and one of the most beautiful villages in Spain, as well as San Vicente de la Sonsierra, a picturesque town with ancient wine presses and breathtaking views. Additionally, we'll visit the monumental town of Briones and Tarazona, known for its stunning cathedral and integrated bullring.

Logroño and its famous Laurel Street:
Logroño, the capital of La Rioja, is known for its wine culture, gastronomy, the Camino de Santiago, and its charming old town. Take a leisurely stroll through the city and visit significant landmarks such as El Espolón Promenade, Santa María de La Redonda co-cathedral, the Merced Convent (currently the regional parliament), the characteristic Portales Street, and the churches of Santiago El Real and Santa María de Palacio. And, of course, don't miss the renowned Laurel Street, where you can experience the true essence of La Rioja through its tapas.
