Burger Classic Wine and Food: A Journey through La Rioja

Sites in La Rioja

As I said in the previous post, this bridge we went to La Rioja. The We had a great time and we ate and drank all expectations ... or more. This is not a travel blog, but this trip has focused on the food and that's what I want to share with you all.

On Friday we stayed in a village called Ezcaray, on the recommendation of some friends went to "Hotel Echaurren" porder and now I want to be me who recommends it. A wonderful hotel, a three star not so much for the room but for everything that goes with it. A friendly atmosphere with a living room with fireplace and blankets for guests (imagine taking a glass of wine by the fireplace and covered with a blanket treatment ...), so nice of the staff who greeted us with a sweet wine of welcome and three fantastic restaurants. The "Echaurren Tradition was the one who chose to dine. We ordered a Jamoncito of seconds an incoming and Braised Beef Tenderloin with Roasted juice, pan fries and applesauce that removed the chops sense and a lamb with baked potatoes and oil to shoot I recommend!

The next day we to Logroño, but not before a visit to Haro. Where we visited, among others, the new winery "Martinez-Lacuesta" , Luis, a member of the third generation of Martinez-Lacuesta, was the one who taught us and encouraged us to try different wines and vermouth, accompanying with a bit of ham, sausage and morcillita of villages ... A marvel! We

Logroño, we stayed at the "Hotel Condes de Haro" , another three star hotel with an impressive room right next to the famous Laurel Street. Where we set our night operations center. Foster and cover for 2.50 €! I recommend these sites, which were our choice, and their usual tapas, some very simple, but we have proof:

  • Pata Negra: Specialty bocatitas ham, the delicious ham and cheese baked nipple.
  • La Gota de Vino: Zorropitos Spectacular! Flea with ham, cheese, bacon / pork loin and aioli sauce suavitas, suavitas.
  • The Broken: Bocatines with super soft bread stuffed with scrambled eggs with whatever you want ... Notice, are to go to sleep later!
  • Angel and Soriano (two): A champis with prawns and a sauce ... mmmm!!
  • Torrecilla: This time pastor had crumbs huevito quail ... but peppers stuffed with cod ... Death! Mesón
  • Grandfather: Yes, it Logroño, but sepia!

Here I put a picture of only two spikes to which I had time to take a picture, they were sooo rich, who could not wait!

Sepia and Champis
the last day and after visiting San Millán de la Cogolla and monasteries Suso and Yuso. We went to eat at another restaurant that we had recommended and a craving since we had said in a letter trotters! The "Restaurante los Caballeros" , we loved, exquisite and delicious food. Jamoncito ate sausage and scrambled eggs (Burgos) first and chops again (they are so good) and pig's feet to the Rioja, second. Wonderful! Delicious!! All this, of course, washed down with a good Rioja and a cheesecake with honey and nuts to finish ... Death!
