Easter Sunday in the Rioja
 
It's 32 degrees and snowing here in the Rioja, but there is always the possibility of blue skies.

Judas Iscariot met his fate at noon in Samaniego, in the blowing snow, and then the sun came out and it warmed up slightly, at least for a little while.

Nevertheless you are so lucky!

Despote the absolutyelt incredible southern California day today, I would much rather be there with you.

Are you at the Villa Abalos?

Yes, we're here in Abalos enjoying the lovely spring weather, which isn't that bad. I just wish we had packed some warmer clothes because El Corte Ingles is closed until Tuesday.

I've never experienced the Rioja when there was snow in the vineyards. It is scenic to say the least and we do have a nice Audi A4 to rely on.

Hi Robert, have just returned from the sierra of Madrid and we´ve had a rough trip back home...plenty of snow near Vitoria. Take care.
