The best thing about travelling is that you enjoy it before, during and after the trip. Although some people prefer to arrive and let themselves be carried away by the place and the moment, most of us like to plan our getaway, informing ourselves beforehand through the internet, social networks, friends who have been there before… Whatever the channel, the truth is that, if we want to get the most out of it, we need information. And there is no one better than the tourist offices to make the experience a great one.
On the Rioja Alta Wine Route there are 8 tourist information offices spread throughout the territory. At present, this type of service is available in Briones, Haro, Logroño, Nájera, Navarrete, Sajazarra, Cenicero and San Vicente de la Sonsierra.
The specialised staff at the tourist offices will undoubtedly be your best guides. In many cases they are neighbours and residents of the town where they also work, so they know every resource in the area inside out. If you are thinking of spending a few days in our region, we encourage you to get advice from them.
