La Rioja is a region full of history. To begin with, it is the cradle of the Castilian language. It was in the Yuso and Suso monasteries, in San Millán de la Cogolla, that the first written record of the Castilian language was found. In this bucolic and peaceful place, a monk turned into letters the language that was spoken among the population. Besides the beautiful monasteries, on top of the mountain, there are medieval towns lost between walls and stories about princes and princesses.

La Rioja has a vineyard landscape framed by monasteries and cities. A snowy mountain, that works as a framework for an old building. A River framed by the green gradient of trees and touched by the bridge.

Must visit & Major attractions:
- Laguardia: A medieval village. It is worth to know and walk through its narrow streets.

- Elciego is located in Rioja Alavesa, a wine region within the Basque Country on the border with the region of La Rioja.
