The La Rioja Wine Region is Spain’s most prestigious wine region. One of the best ways to experience the charm of La Rioja is to explore its fantastic villages. Many La Rioja villages picturesquely sit on hilltops or are built on the slopes of spectacular river valleys.
Although many of these villages are quite small, each one boasts diverse activities from sipping wine in local cellars to spectacular hiking trails, and even natural hot springs. Some of these small pueblos are found along the epic Camino de Santiago French Way offering a chance to see historical buildings and sights.
These are some of the most charming La Rioja villages to visit and what to see and do in each one.
