Welcome to Spain’s wine region at the very heart of the country where our safari meanders along parts of River Ebro, the longest river in Spain, flowing from its source in the Cantabrian Mountains down to the distant Mediterranean.

Starting from Riano we set off on a journey of varied cycle terrain not only characterised by magnificent vineyards but also a landscape of gorgeous flora made up of alpines and orchids etc, canyons with sculptured limestone and small rustic village offering a unique culture and history to embrace.

Our tour takes us through the beautiful valley of Valderredible and offers the chance to explore characteristic churches carved into rocks before we visit the ‘fairytale village’ of Orbaneja del Castillo with its waterfalls running through its center. We cycle along quiet country roads and spend a night in the spectacular Frias, a town built around its castle and with fine views of the Ebro valley. The safari also includes some splendid wine tasting at one of the renowned Bodegas as we stay in Haro, the birthplace of Rioja.

Our final destination is Laguardia, where you can explore the village and its historic walls dating back to the 13th century, or cycle up to the ‘Balcony of La Rioja’, with its incomparable views over the valley and across the neighbouring provinces of Soria, Navarra and Burgos.
