Haro, North Spain
Right on the River Ebro at the western end of the Rioja Alta region (where the high-end Riojas are produced) Haro serves as one of the main centres for the wine trade in the area.
Aside from teh wine trade Haro is a typical market town with a nicely kept old-town centre with an interesting selection of shops and plenty of lively bars and restaurants where you can sample the local produce.
The town gets particularly busy in late June for the Battle of Wine (not for the faint hearted) and the Fiesta de la Estaciones (a major event in the wine calendar – book ahead!) then again in late September into October when the wine is harvested, but it's a busy city throughout the summer months and popular with Spanish visitors looking for an authentic taste of La Rioja.
