Treat yourself to a holiday in Laguardia and fall in love with the town’s monuments, churches, natural attractions and superb wine.

Laguardia is a town located in the south of the province of Álava, in the Basque Country. Its streets offer a medieval atmosphere that will whisk you away to the past as you sip a glass of wine, the town's star product.

Before enjoying that well-deserved drink, though, there’s lots to see! You can start with Casa de la Primicia, the oldest Gothic building in the town, from the end of the 16th century. In its day, it served as a store for the first fruits, which were the fruits and cattle that, in addition to the tithe, were given to the Church.

Then head over to Torre Abacial, a building with a square floor plan that served to defend the town's walls. Its construction began at the end of the 12th century, and it’s reminiscent of the bell towers of the northern Italy and the Catalan Pyrenees. Don’t miss your chance to admire it when night falls thanks to our cheap trips to Laguardia!

Next to the tower stands the church of Santa María de los Reyes, whose construction took four centuries: you’ll soon notice the clear mixture of styles. Without a doubt, the most remarkable element of the temple is its Gothic doorway, which will take your breath away. Other religious sights you’ll want to catch before you leave include the church of San Juan Bautista, patron saint of Laguardia.

When you’ve decided on one of our package deals to Laguardia, don’t forget to book a trip on the tourist train, which will take you on a tour of the surrounding vineyards and wineries and allow you to take some impressive photos of the Sierra de la Demanda and Sierra de Cantabria mountain ranges. Now it’s time to get that glass of wine!

To get to Laguardia, you only have to fly to Vitoria or Bilbao and take a bus from there. The buses are quite frequent and the journey takes about an hour.

Where to stay in Laguardia

this very small Basque town is just so incredibly beautiful that you can't believe is real. 
the view over the Cantabrian Mountains  and the all the Rioja vineyards is also amazing

the picture was taken in a pintxos bar ..it's art what the Basques do with the food. 

I loved the place and recommend it to everyone that would like to taste great food & wine and have a relaxed walk around.

Apartment style hotel. Good sized, comfortable rooms. We did not cook but the unit had a cook top and seemed to have all the cooking supplies you'd need.

The hotel is being used for the council for conflictive families. Man smoking smelly herbs in the main door. It was not pleasant. It is a real shame since it is a great location and the room itself, and service were great. U just want feel safe to stay/sleep.
