Hotels in La Rioja, Spain

La Rioja is a wine region in northern Spain with a continental Mediterranean climate-hot summers average 86°F (30°C) and cold winters drop to 36°F (2°C). Famous for its Rioja wine, you can tour bodegas in Haro or sip Tempranillo in Logroño's Calle Laurel, a street packed with tapas bars. Spring and autumn offer mild 68°F (20°C) weather perfect for hiking the Sierra de la Demanda, while winter brings fewer crowds and cheaper stays to explore the San Millán de la Cogolla monasteries where Spanish language was first written.
