Most famous for its wine of the same name, La Rioja is an autonomous region of inland Northern Spain. It is mostly very rural with mountains, valleys and flat plains yielding a sprinkle of small towns and villages where traditional Spanish life continues on as it has done for centuries. Much of Rioja's population is concentrated around its capital - Logrono - on the river Ebro, and represents some of the best Spanish property investment opportunities in Rioja.

Climbing, hiking, ridge gliding, fishing and hunting are just some of the activities that are big in Rioja, as well as of course dining and sampling the local wines.
The main wine production region is in Haro in the Ebro valley. Tourists are drawn to this area for its vineyards, as well as to nearby Camino de Santiago - the site of the first written texts in Castilian Spanish.
