Haro Walking Tour
Haro, Spain
Why Walk Haro
Haro is the epicenter of Rioja wine production, home to the Barrio de la Estacion — a unique cluster of historic bodegas near the train station, several dating to the 1870s when French winemakers fled phylloxera and brought Bordeaux techniques to Rioja. The compact old town around the Plaza de la Paz features Renaissance and Baroque churches, a vibrant tapas scene, and wine bars where a glass of aged Rioja costs less than almost anywhere else in the world.
