The beauty and charms of the Rioja region of Spain are secrets still known mainly to the Spaniards. In La Rioja, a land of tranquility and abundance, everybody is welcomed with a glass of wine, and the traditional, slow pace of life is ideally experienced by walking and hiking its trails. Birthplace of the first native Spanish saint and the Spanish language, traversed by the major pilgrimage route of the Camino de Santiago, and producer of world-renowned Rioja wines, La Rioja is irresistible to discriminating visitors. We walk through beautiful countryside and villages, hike along quiet back roads and local trails, and discover rich Riojan history and culture. Our days of inn-to-inn walking and hiking are rewarded with relaxed evenings in beautifully restored inns enjoying the fruits of the region -- cuisine combining the tradtional and the nouveau, and wines crafted by artisans. -
