Geography of La Rioja

La Rioja extends from the Ebro valley, carpeted with the vineyards that give its wine worldwide fame, to the ranges of the Iberian System —the Demanda and Cebollera— in the south. The climate is continental Mediterranean, with an Atlantic influence. The beech, oak and pine woods of the southern mountains concentrate the summer wildfire risk, while the farmed valley rarely burns. Fun fact: the first words in Castilian were written in the monasteries of San Millán de la Cogolla, considered the cradle of the Spanish language.
