Ezcaray
A stone mountain village at the foot of the Sierra de la Demanda, known for its handmade blankets and Michelin-starred restaurant, and a ski destination in winter.
Ezcaray sits in the Oja Valley about 60 km southwest of Logroño. Its old town is made up of stone houses with arcades and an 18th-century royal textile factory, and handmade mohair blanket workshops still welcome visitors to browse and buy. The Echaurren restaurant in town holds two Michelin stars and is a benchmark for La Rioja's cuisine. The surrounding Sierra de la Demanda is good for hiking, and in winter the nearby Valdezcaray ski resort opens. Ezcaray is best explored by car and can be combined with Santo Domingo de la Calzada on the same day trip.
