While touring about La Rioja, I spotted this capable canine keeping an eye on the vineyard:
Was a friendly dog. He patrolled the rows of grapes a while then retreated to the shade of the nearby bodega for a nap. Good to know there’s someone looking after the coming harvest.
Haro, Spain hosts numerous bodegas at the edge of town. This is a sort of wine capital for the La Rioja region.
You’ll find famous wine makers and also smaller brands here. In the station district you can park and walk between several. Below is a tasting sample from Bodegas Roda.
And take a look at the cellar at Roda:
I’ll post some more about tasting wine in Haro soon. Cheers!
La Rioja, like much of Spain, features some marvelous views. A broad valley of fields and vineyards, it is dotted by some hills from which you can see for miles.
There are mountains on either side. When the weather rolls in, you can see the clouds folding over the top and spilling downward.
This is a place to linger, to check out the local scene, enjoy the food and wine. Take your time.
Just for fun, I made a little video showing the takeoff, meals, and landing on American Airlines Flight 740 from Philadelphia to Madrid, Spain.
It was a great flight. Excellent crew, good food, and safe. Looking forward to many more like this.
