Its borders were disputed between the Iberian kingdoms of Castille, Navarre and Aragon during the Middle Ages. It is where Saint Francis of Assisi healed a child during his pilgrimage, which is why the Franciscan monastery was built.

Cervantes' House is a house/museum in Valladolid, Spain, devoted to Miguel de Cervantes. The museum is located in the house that was Cervantes's home. It is one of the National Museums of Spain and is attached to the Ministry of Culture.

Cervantes is the most well-known writer for his book "The Quixote". He is the Shakespeare of the Spanish literature. Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, is a Spanish novel published in the early 1600's. Declared by many critics and authors to be the first "modern novel," Don Quixote charts the adventures of a middle-aged nobleman who, unsatisfied with ordinary life, views his actions through the lens of medieval chivalry.

Overnight Logroño.

Breakfast. Before visiting the winery this morning, you will take a brief walk through the medieval town of Laguardia. Laguardia is one of the nicest and most important spots in Rioja Alavesa. The town’s urban center is surrounded by defensive walls, built at the beginning of the 13th century. At one end of the main street is the church of San Juan Bautista, and at the other the church of Santa María de los Reyes. Both are located next to the town’s walls. Towards the northern limit of the walled center, on El Collado promenade, there is a monument to the fabulist Félix María de Samaniego, who was born in the town.

From there, you will continue to the Vivanco Museum of Wine Culture. It was declared the best museum devoted to wine by UNESCO in 2007. It covers an area of 4,000 m2, which includes five permanent exhibition rooms. Outside the museum is the Garden of Bacchus, with a collection of more than 220 varieties of vines from all over the world. The permanent exhibition houses the collections that the Vivanco family has acquired over the years. There are more than 6,000 pieces on display, from centuries-old vessels and presses to great works of art from artists such as Picasso, Menchu Gal and Barceló, as well as audio-visuals that let you discover all about the history and future of wine. The winery is functional and aesthetic. The building was constructed underground in order to minimize the environmental impact and conserve the landscape, as well as to favor naturally-balanced temperature and humidity conditions all year round, which are essential for the good conservation and ageing of wine in oak barrels or vats. The visit to the winery includes a stop at the vineyard. Once inside the winery, you will be shown the grape reception and selection, production and ageing areas, before finishing in the tasting room. Lunch and return to Logroño. Overnight Logroño.

Breakfast. Salamanca was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO some years ago for the outstanding universal value of its history, culture and monuments. The city was first conquered by the Carthaginians in the 3rd century. It then became a Roman settlement, and under their dominion enjoyed a period of grandeur. The Roman Bridge still exists today. The city was later occupied by the Visigoths and then the Arabs. At the end of the 11th century, it became part of the Kingdom of Castile and León. Salamanca became famous for its university, founded in 1215 around the same time as the University of Paris. By the 16th century, the university already had 12,000 students. Following a brief historical introduction, we present some of the monuments that were built from the 16th century onwards, which are found in the Old City, the center of which is the Plaza Mayor, one of the most beautiful in Spain. From there, you will begin the walking tour, taking in the Roman Church of San Martín, the Casa de las Conchas – a beautiful Gothic building built in the 15th century – and the Patio de Escuelas in front of the marvellous façade of the Old University. You will also visit the Old Cathedral, built in the 12th century in the Romanesque style. Of note are the central altarpiece and a series of chapels around the cathedral’s interior. The New Cathedral mixes different architectural styles – including Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque – due to its extended period of construction, and we draw particular attention to the western façade. We also comment on the façade and main cloister of the Convent of San Esteban, as well as several other palaces, convents and churches. During the visit, you can admire all of the sites and monuments described above.
