La Rioja Alta

La Rioja Alta

The Upper Rioja, the most prosperous part of La Rioja's wine country, extends from the Ebro River to the Sierra de la Demanda. La Rioja Alta has the most fertile soil, the best vineyards and agriculture, the most impressive castles and monasteries, a ski resort at Ezcaray, and the historical economic advantage of being on the Camino de Santiago. From Logroño, drive 12 km (7 mi) west on N120 to Navarrete to see its noble houses and the baroque altarpiece in Asunción church.
