Last month I went to the Rioja region of Spain over Valentine's weekend.
For reasons blindingly obvious, this was going to be a tough weekend for me especially hanging around at home with its multitude of memories and ghosts.
So I gatecrashed Sarah's Rioja wine tasting trip! To drink some nice wine, learn about said wine, get to visit a part of Spain I had never been to before, meet interesting new people and most of all try and have some fun. And so I did! The weather wasn't great but northern Spain was never going to be in February but it was still very beautiful.
I thought I would do a short photo story of what we got upto below and in the next blog post - the pics speak for themselves. Thank you Sarah, Meirion, Arantza, Ian, Phil and Amanda for a fantastic weekend full of laughs, great company, tasty food and even better wine. Gracias a todos!
