As soon as I go up to the “Balcón de La Rioja” and I look forward to observe the panorama. I feel privileged, as if I were in the middle of a work of art.
It is an incredible to stop and think how landscapes have gained in beauty over the centuries. Like a blanket of “almazuelas” that stretches westwards towards the Castilian plateau. The landscape is a collective work, a story narrated by chapters written by our ancestors, and a legacy to be preserved with responsibility.
In this regard, it is the most visible sign of identity of a region and a way of life is the landscape. We are fortunate to live in a vineyard paradise, a form of Mediterranean civilization bequeathed to us by the Romans. Our vines adapt to the terrain of the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria, to the stony slopes of Tudelillla or simply to the terraces of the Ebro, in the form of irregular waterfalls, green in summer and of an indescribable range during autumn.
To understand our landscape we need an interpreter, a genuine hand that unveils the secrets of history and culture thus opening our eyes to the genesis of the world.
In a nutshell, as what we really are is a historical landscape of disproportionate beauty. All those feelings that flood us from a perspective as simple but beautiful as the “Balcón de La Rioja”, makes us reflect on how impressive our region is and the need to take advantage and enjoy what we have and what nature offers us.
