Where to stay in La Rioja: neighbourhoods first, then the properties that earn their rates.

La Rioja is Spain's smallest mainland autonomous community and one of the world's great wine regions, producing the celebrated Rioja DOCa wines along the sun-drenched banks of the Ebro River. Beyond the vineyards, medieval monasteries, Camino de Santiago pilgrimage routes, and rugged Sierra de la Demanda mountains make this a destination of remarkable depth.
