    Haro

    Haro, the center of Rioja Alta, is closely tied to Spanish wine culture. Here you'll find the historic Barrio de la Estación, a cluster of traditional bodegas that arose following the railway's arrival in the 19th century. The city center is marked by the Plaza de la Paz and its 18th-century town hall, while the Basílica de Nuestra Señora de la Vega is situated by the Jardines de la Vega. The Church of Santo Tomás impresses with its 1525 portal by Felipe Bigarny and its 18th-century baroque bell tower. An annual highlight is the Batalla del Vino on June 29, a traditional wine battle at the Riscos de Bilibio. In spring or autumn, you'll find pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds in the region. For wine tastings, book tours at the bodegas in the Barrio de la Estación in advance.
