History, art, traditions, wineries, exquisite gastronomy, and a natural environment privileged, are part of the offer that this area offers to the traveler.
For lunch we will enjoy the traditional roast lamb, accompanied by Ribera wine, for many the best roast lamb in the world. You can also opt for other exquisite specialties, traditional from this area, such as cheese, blood sausage, chorizo, Castilian soup and the new signature cuisine also present in the region.
Produced in this region they are among the best in Spain. Already in the 12th century the monks of Cluny were growing grapes on the banks of the Douro River to produce wine. Ribera del Duero is in the heart of Castilla-León, the old land of castles. The subsoil of almost all the towns is practically hollow, with caves excavated to store the wine, as they guarantee perfect humidity and temperature conditions. Although many wineries have fallen into disuse, some have been recovered for visits or for wine production. Visiting an old winery that has been in operation for centuries and drinking a glass of wine there is an unforgettable experience.
A visit to Ribera del Duero would not be complete without trying the famous suckling pig or lamb roasted in a wood oven, on a grill or in a winery. In this region you can eat the best roast lamb in the world. Although we should not forget the other traditional specialties such as cheese, blood sausage, chorizo, Castilian soup and the specialties of the new signature cuisine also present in the region.
