La Rioja is Spain's smallest mainland autonomous community and one of the world's great wine regions, producing the celebrated Rioja DOCa wines along the sun-drenched banks of the Ebro River. Beyond the vineyards, medieval monasteries, Camino de Santiago pilgrimage routes, and rugged Sierra de la Demanda mountains make this a destination of remarkable depth.
