Day 18
Rioja Region
October 15, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Heute stand der Tag mal ganz im Zeichen des Rioja‘s. Heißt - nach dem Frühstück ging es zuerst einmal zu den hiesigen (in Haro) Bodegas zwecks Verköstigung. Verwunderlich ist, dass man hier nur „per Glas“ probieren kann, mitunter gut eingeschenkt. Angesichts von Preisen von 26€ pro 10-15cl Rioja Grand Reserva (v. Muga, Jahrgang 2015) überlegt man dann schon Was, Wieviel und wo man etwas probiert.
Probiert haben wir 2 Weiße (gingen so) und später auf dem Weg zum heutigen Stellplatz nochmal 3 Rote (trocken, zu Fassbetont).
Der Weißwein zum Essen ist auch nicht besonders hervorzuheben. Apropos Essen; da uns heute der Sinn weder nach Tapas noch Pulpo war, haben wir uns eine kleines Restaurant in Laguardia gesucht. Im übrigen ist Laguardia sehr beeindruckend; zumindest die Altstadt. Klein, verwinkelte Gassen und eine Tapas Bar nach der anderen.
Leider mussten wir aber dann doch weiter, gen Bardenas Reales; eine Art Halbwüste… schauen wir mal wie es morgen aussieht, der Stellplatz ist jedenfalls schon mal staubig.Read more

La Rioja day

Up and away early from Pamplona to navigate the city before the traffic built up. Then out over vast plains and valleys that reminded us of our trip up from Valencia after the volcano.
The campsite in Haro was packed. Big family groups and kids everywhere. Then we discovered today is a holiday - day of the Rioja . As it's a Sunday, tomorrow is a holiday too. However we found a great spot and settled in. Life administration, laundry and research. Then as the fridge was bare and the supermarkets closed we walked into town and wandered the narrow streets eating pintxos and drinking red wine from the local bodegas. Best mushrooms we have ever eaten.
They have a festival here at the end of May where everyone throws red wine over each other...Read more

Vine vine pilgrim pilgrim vine vine

Was a bit overcast and drizzly when we woke up - and we were a bit overcast and drizzly after our Rioja fest last night - so for penance we went on a long hilly bike ride. Out into the empty vineyards in the hills around Haro and reached our lunch stop in Nájera which is also a stop on the pilgrim route. Astounded again at the numbers and physical state of folk walking this to prove their faith. Well at least if you're on the pilgrim route you can guarantee a few open cafés.
The sun came out for our return journey as we left the walking throngs and headed back into the empty hills with the vines stretching off to the distant mountains. A suprise monastery on our return journey, with open doors and peaceful gardens was a lovely stop.Read more

Day 17
Where roosters crow after being roasted
June 11, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
Set off along a rather overgrown bike path to a town called St Domingo de la Calzada. Legend has it that a German boy was hanged here for a theft he didn't commit. His parents came to find him still alive (miracle). They went to tell the mayor, who said that the boy was as alive as the roast chicken on his plate. Promptly the chicken sat up and crowed (miracle).
In the cathedral they keep a live hen and rooster in a gilded cage. They change them every 15 days.
The cathedral was fascinating, with all sorts of artefacts and tombs dating back as far as the 11th century. We spent ages in there with an audioguide, and consequently missed a huge downpour (miracle). Oh and we had cracking egg and chips in a local hostelry that was full of hikers and bikers on the Camino route.. Great route home with lovely mountain views. Went via some of the bodegas on the way to have a look about. Bit too posh for us in our biking gear...Read more
