WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN CYCLING IN LA RIOJA

This ancient region of Spain is most famous for its delicious red wine, Rioja. One of the oldest wine regions in Europe, the vines that grow here were planted before Rome was even built. Not many know that La Rioja is also a fantastic place for some leisurely cycling, filled with impressive sights and beautiful towns. Pedal past vineyards and bask in the history all around you on a Rioja cycling holiday.

Visit the small capital of the region, Logroño, which bursts with character and colour. Blooming trees line the avenues of charming buildings home to cafes, tapas bars, and artisanal delights. In every town across the region, the currency is wine; the people of La Rioja are incredibly proud of their wines, and for good reason as they’re delicious. Whilst on a Rioja cycling holiday, you’ll have the chance to taste some for yourself, and maybe even have a sangria or two.

When in La Rioja, it would be a crime not to taste the delicious wines produced here. 90% of the bottles made in La Rioja are red, and their most unique characteristic is a long, oak barrel aging process. By ageing the wines in oak, a pronounced vanilla flavour is created which has become an iconic aspect of the wine. On a cycling holiday in La Rioja, you’ll be pedalling past the ancient vines which produce all this fantastic wine, where you can stop off for a tour and tasting as you go.
