RIOJA WINE TOURS FROM SAN SEBASTIAN
San Sebastian is my favorite city in the north of Spain, next to the sea with beautiful small villages around and one of the best places to eat in the world!
Transportation from San Sebastian (Guipuzcoa) to the Rioja area:
You have three different options to take one of our Rioja Wine Tours from San Sebastian :
1) With your own car:
The easiest way, since San Sebastian (Guipuzcoa) is around 2 hours from Logroño (the capital of La Rioja), approximately 180 km. There are two different routes, but I would recommend to take the A-15 highway to Pamplona, including around 6 km in toll highway called “AP15” whose price is 2.15 Euros (each way) and then, from Pamplona you have to take the A-12 highway to Logrono.
