Recently on a trip from Madrid to San Sebastián, we discovered the serene village of Briñas in La Rioja, where we stayed at Finca Torre de Briñas. Exploring nearby Haro by riverside walk, we enjoyed tasting wines and sampling tapas before winding our way back. For May visitors, the sunny 12°C in La Rioja makes it an ideal time to indulge in leisurely strolls and wine tastings under a warm sun.
