Silken Villa de Laguardia

The walled city of Laguardia was charming and can be seen all in one day. Restaurante Castillo El Collado (lovely outdoor patio for sightseeing and hanging with the locals playing cards) and Batzokia Restaurante (Julio the owner is absolutely wonderful and serviced us with 100% attention) are well priced and the cuisine was the best by far in the walled city! We highly recommend wine tour/tasting and LUNCH at this 150 old old winery Eguren Ugarte Winery.The caves are unbelievable to see in person. Get a driver/taxi that you can split with other couples at the hotel, 12 euros. YSIOS winery is a must see if you are keen to see Calatrava's architecture of this modern winery. The wine museum (perfect for families) at Valdelana was a nice treat to see all the artifacts of wine making process etc. About a 20 minute drive to see Hotel Viura is a must see! Exceptional modern design, eclectic interior design. Pop into to have a glass of wine in the outdoor patio, or their artistic cafe inside for a waygu burger and frites! Delicious! We stopped into Haro to see a photography exhibit at Bodegas Roda. "MARIDAJES" FOTOGRAFÍA DE ARQUITECTURA is on until November 2017. Our experience in this region was filled with architecture, design, history, and exceptional views from the mountainous roads.
