Rioja is only a short flight away from the UK and planning your visit to Spain's most famous wine region could not be easier.

Whether on foot, by car or on a bike, touring Rioja is a real feast for the senses. Combining a visit to the peaceful, relaxing Rioja region with a short break in the basque city of Bilbao means a holiday full of excitement and contrasts.

Independent travellers can chose to hire a car from either Bilbao or Vitoria airport and follow their own hearts in and around Rioja's vinous roads.

Tour operators and travel agencies also organise tailor-made holidays for groups or individuals. Whether you want to combine wine discovery with retracing the steps of the Santiago pilgrims or wild life watching, to cycle around the beautiful vineyards of Rioja or simply indulge at a luxury hotel and spa, there is a holiday for you!
