2. Recommendations:
Rioja is the land of wine, an exceptional place
where this product achieves its greatest expression.
Near Calahorra you can discover the wineries of
Lower Rioja, including Torres Librada (Alfaro) and
Viña Herminia (Aldeanuela del Ebro). In Calahorra,
we recommend exploring the cathedral and the
Episcopal palace.
Parador de Olite 2nd Day, Monday
Recommendations:
As you approach Olite and see the town silhouetted
against the horizon, you will feel that much awaits your
discovery. The town offers you the opportunity to
discover the palace of the Kings of Navarre, Sta. María
la Real Church, San Pedro Apóstol Church, and Carlos
III Square. You can explore the world of wine in the
Navarre Museum of Wine and Vineyards, which is
located in the same lovely square as the Parador.
Other highlights include the Piedemonte, Marco Real
and Bodega Ochoa wineries.
Parador de Sto. Domingo de la Calzada 3rd Day, Tuesday
Recommendations:
The town of Sto. Domingo is an excellent setting-off
point for discovering the Upper Rioja region and its
wealth of heritage linked to wine and viniculture,
famous throughout the world. We recommend a visit to
the Ontañón Winery/Museum (Logroño), the Haro
Enology Station in Haro, the Vivanco Museum of the
Culture of Wine in Briones, as well as some of the
vineyards in the Upper Rioja region which are open to
visitors. Another possibility is following the Wine
Taller Projectes Oci- NIF A-63405468 GC - 1138
Architecture Route (Gehry, Calatrava, Moneo, etc.). In
Santo Domingo you can explore the exenta, or stand-
alone, cathedral tower, the cathedral itself (high altar,
the saint’s mausoleum, hen’s cage, cloister). Nearby lies
the town of San Millán de la Cogolla (San Millán de Yuso Monastery and San Millán de
Suso Monastery).
