Stayed at nearby Parador de Santo Domingo de la Calzada. Echaurren is a country inn in a pretty mountain town on the fringe of La Rioja with a restaurant that is world class.

A mother and son team have created a combination of the best elements of the traditional cusine of Spain with a cutting-edge cusine that marries tradition with state-of-the-art, expressively modern cusine.

Echaurren is a place where local people come for perfectly prepared Spanish comfort food and gourmands can explore cutting edge dishes, generously prepared and a great regional wine list.

The hotel is as nice inn, homey and friendly but the reason to visit is the amazing kitchen!
