Posada Mayor de Migueloa

Laguardia - Alava - Basque Country

City Break

Number of rooms: 7

Located in the narrow medieval streets of Laguardia, this beautifully renovated 17th century manor house is surely a great choice for lovers of excellent food, wine and old world charm. Thanks for this must go to the husband and wife team of Jaime Gutiérrez and Meri Huergo. Together, they have transformed Migueloa from a place in almost total ruin to a delicious lodging - in all senses of the word. On entering the building, one cannot but fail to notice the impact of the original stonewalls. In fact, this is a constant throughout the 8 rooms, all of which have been exquisitely furnished with fine antiques that are fully in keeping with the discreet feel of the place. Gastronomy and wine make up an essential part of Migueloa’s character. Its pretty subterranean wine cellar, for example, is thought to be the oldest in Rioja and it is certainly worthwhile going down the stone stairs to take a look. The restaurant too is famous for its excellent cuisine.

ll	Activities

Framed by the stony mass of the Cantabrian Mountains, a rural Mediterranean-type landscape with grapevines and olive groves creates the stunning scenery of the Rioja wine region. Centuries of history are preserved in a wealth of historic towns and villages such as Samaniego, Laguardia, Lanciego and Labastida to name a few. Rioja Alavesa is just over an hour from Bilbao and an ideal short break.

Laguardia
A jewel in the crown.
Capital of Rioja Alavesa, this precious medieval town and surrounding area are full of artistic monuments and sites. The city walls date back to the 13th century, the ornate Gothic facade of Santa Maria de los Reyes church is 14th century and its polychromy is in perfect condition and there's much more. For example La Hoya, the Bronze Age village discovered in 1935.

Rioja is well reputed for its production of fine dry reds (predominantly from Tempranillo, Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha), though there has always been a production of classy whites (especially oak aged, and as of late barrel fermented -from local Viura and Malvasia grapes-). The Minimum Ageing Requirements, by which its wines are classified, have impregnated other Spanish DO's standards. The classification, which is on the verge of disappearance, for it says nothing of the quality of the wines, yields following wine types: \"Sin Crianza\", wine with little or no ageing in oak casks, often referred to as Vino Joven or Cosechero and being comprised of 100% Rioja authorized grapes, as with all Rioja guaranteed origin wines. \"Crianza\": Wine in its third year, matured for at least one year in oak cask. \"Reserva\": Should be carefully selected wines, aged for at least three years, of which at least one is in oak cask and the rest in bottle. Finally come the \"Gran Reserva\", a wine which has been aged at least two years in oak casks and at least three years in bottle.
