Day 2: Dinosaur Trail

Are you looking for the perfect outing for a great day with the kids? Take advantage of your stay in Calahorra to visit the municipality of Enciso, home to Barranco Perdido paleo-adventure park and other palaeontological points of interest.This is the perfect place for the children to learn and spend a fun day discovering some of the earliest inhabitants of the planet: the dinosaurs. The park is open during the summer months, so make the most of the opportunity if you're traveling with kids. A perfect day!

 

Day 3: Wine Trail

La Rioja is a favorite among lovers of enotourism. You'll find countless wineries open to visitors scattered throughout the province. And you won't be able to stop snapping pictures of the scenery during the spring and summer months, when the vineyards make it look as if you're sailing through a sea of green rather than walking.
