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.
