LaGuardia is a small and magical town in Spain's Basque Country. From stunning
landscapes to world-class wineries, LaGuardia and Rioja Alavesa are places
everyone should visit. Follow me as I explore one of my favorite towns in
Spain.
Good morning from beautiful LaGuardia we're here at the top of the hotel it's
a tower beautiful staircase it leads you up to this platform overlooking the
valley behind me in front of me is the city of LaGuardia. So this is a beautiful
beautiful landscape to come and take early morning pictures or golden hour
photographs so that we can share with you on our websites and our social media
accounts. But again, we're just up early to take those golden hour photographs.
Amazing experience coming up to the tower you pay two euros as the first
floor of the tower inside that first floor is a trinket shop or souvenir shop
you can go in there buy a bunch of cool little trinkets from the area. You come
up to more flights in the tower and you have this beautiful scenery in LaGuardia.
So it's a must-see while you're here visiting this historic town. But today is
a day of competition for a very typical dish in La Rioja region which is,
Patatas con Chorizo so we're gonna go down to the square and taste some of
this good food.
So this is what it's all about; we're here in the square of LaGuardia, this is
the competition for the best of plate of Patatas con Chorizo. I've met a bunch of
wonderful people what they were able to be generous and allow us to take
pictures and videos but this is really a lot of fun this is pretty much what
Spain's all about families all out in the street with grandparents, kids and
their and their grandchildren. All together this is absolutely what makes
this part of Spain so fantastic, but again this there's so more to experience.
There's a bunch of wine we still have to taste, so let's go in there and check it out.
I just left the museum Bodega Vivanco, this is definitely our first
stop in the tour of La Rioja region. It gives you a history of the winemaking in
the area, how it's produced, where it's shipped, so a lot of good information. I did meet
with the staff talked about private tours so I'm excited to be in touch with
them in the future so let's go check out some more bodegas right down the
street. I just arrived in the historic city of Haro. From here over 140 years ago
a train station which is right in front of me was built and the line led to Bilbao.
What that did was it aligned the supply chain or the logistics of
this wine region to move and from Bilbao it (the wine) was able to export all over
regions from Europe and of course around the world. So this is an interesting
location getting ready to go inside through several of these bodegas, talk to
the staff and get some more information on the history and of course taste some
more wines. So getting ready to go into this Vinoteca Wine Bar of the
Bodegas Bilbainas. Let's go check this out
So a lot of bottles to choose from very pretty Vinoteca, little wine
bar. If you can't get here in time for one of
the tours you can stop in and taste some of their wine for 10 euros. Laguardia is
a place to get away from it all visit its charming bodegas and walk through
its medieval streets. I have always enjoyed my visits to this amazing town,
and I know you will too. Hey, guys, I hope you enjoyed this video and if you're planning a trip
