Description:
COMFORT AND RIOJAN ATMOSPHERE This red brick construction harmoniously contrasts with the
fresh water of the river Ebro and the Cidacos Valley. The dense vegetation of
the garden, filled with flowers and palm trees, is inserted in one of the most
important historical and artistic ensembles of La Rioja. The most representative
building of the former Calagurris, of Roman origin, is the Cathedral. Wide
portals, large windows and blinds adorn a structure with smooth lines which,
inside, has a decoration with a clear Medieval influence. The working rooms are
characterized by their spaciousness and modern and functional installations. The
cooking of La Rioja is based on the quality of the products of its fertile land,
with vegetable stew, 'pochas' (pinto beans), chops with peppers, and pears or
peaches in wine standing out.
