Whilst Spain is world famous for its wine with a bewildering number of regional denominaciones de orginies ( DO) including those of Rioja and Ribera de Duero, most people who come to the capital are surprised that  Madrid has its own wine growing regions and a host of excellent local wineries no more than 30 minutes from the capital.

Olive oil is a staple ingredient in Spanish Cooking and a key ingredient into why the Mediterranian diet is considered so healthy – and yet most people know very little about it.

When people think of La Rioja they think of one thing – wine….

And its Its not an unreasonable – there are after all nearly 700 wineries in the region which is then subsequently subdivided into three sub regions of Rioja Alta, Rioja Baja and Rioja Alavesa.

The walled city of Segovia may seem as a medieval city with its high and thick walls and 15th century buildings but in fact it stretches back to pre- Roman times as an important settlement and fortress.

Its prominent 2,000 year-old Roman aquaduct is as impressive a structure as can be seen anywhere and the start point as we enter another world and time.
