A NICE PLACE by Ana Belén

Hello class!!

Laguardia, a village in La Rioja Alavesa, is a place that seems beautiful to live in and where it could be perfectly situated the house of my dreams.

It is a village of medieval structure, walled, cosy, well maintained .....
Practically it only has three streets connected each other by various crossings where it is wonderful to wander around.
One of the reasons for which Laguardia invites you to walk and live on the street is that its historical downtown is pedestrian.

If you enter the village and go straight ahead, you arrive at Plaza Mayor where you find the town hall.

On its facade a clock chime can be seen and there, but only at a certain time some automatons dancing according to the rhythm of the tradicional local music go out.


If you go to the right and walk straight along the main street, you can see the library.

If we continue walking towards the northern part which is also a delight, you can go for a walk around El Collado, a park surrounding the Church of Santa María de los Reyes. On the right side there is a bust doing homage to Samaniego, the fabulist, native to Laguardia.

And besides the beautiful stroll you can find there, there are spectacular views since Laguardia is just situated on a hill.

Among its panoramic view, if we look to the North, we will see the imposing Sierra of Cantabria and towards the East and the West vineyards, vineyards and more vineyards.

And of course, you can't leave Laguardia without visiting a winery to learn how the wines of the Rioja Alavesa are made.

I encourage you to visit it.

I hope you like it.
