La Rioja 6-day Photography Tour
Join me in my homeland.
La Rioja is simply beautiful and breathtaking. It contains all the ingredients needed to be classified as one the most original Spanish landscapes.
Famed for its wines, La Rioja still has a lot more to offer beyond wine. Here you will find a diverse land of orchards, vineyards, semi deserts and rivers which are in stark contrast to the towering Iberian mountain range seen in the background. All this makes La Rioja one of the most picturesque places in Northern Spain.
It’s true to say this region is small, occupying about one percent of Spain. But its potential for casting impressions could not be greater. It has excellent examples of almost all of nature’s manifestations, not only from the natural heritage of Spain but also as a sample of the natural environments of the continent.
A great diversity of climates and structural formations converge here. The result is an intensity of forms that enable us to view the principal ecosystems of not less than 35 percent of the various habitats of the Iberian peninsula.
After nature, also historical sites make up a serious part of this famed wine region. The majestic Yuso and Suso Monasteries are a good example of this, and furthermore this sacred site keeps within its walls the first and eldest Spanish words ever written down.
Of the 209 monasteries in Spain, only 7 are truly significant, and the Yuso monastery in Rioja is listed in that group.
In other words, La Rioja has a large concentration of beauty around the whole region, from the famous vineyards to the natural and historical riches. All these riches flow down from the tops of Sierra de la Demanda range to the multicolour slopes of vines and its villages and stop right at the banks of the Ebro river. All of it for you to discover
We will mainly focus on the region’s famous vineyard landscapes during the autumn and spring, followed by the some of the most scenic spots which include different valleys, forests and mountains. We will also visit a canyon, griffon vultures and red soil cliffs in lower Rioja.
Additionally, we will have the chance of taking great shots of monasteries, picturesque villages, and some of the oldest Spanish wineries.
Come and join me for this wonderful and unique photography tour and workshop.
I am looking forward to showing you the wonderous beauty it has to offer, and of course the chance to taste its best wines.
