Just a few of the 70,000 (!!) barrels at the very impressive Campo Viejo winery, built into the hillside outside Logroño. Unlike some of the smaller boutique wineries we visited, this winery produces for the masses - including me, as their yellow label Rioja Tempranillo is my go-to red wine at home in London 🍷🇪🇸🍷 . . . . . . . #campoviejo #campoviejorioja #bodegascampoviejo #pernodricard #logroño #bodega #bodegas #rioja #riojawine #spain #visitspain #españa #spanishwine #winebarrell #barrell #cellar #winecellar #winelovers #winesofspain #winery #vineyard #tempranillo #wine #vinho #vinhotinto #amazingdestinations #amazingplaces #discoverglobe #worldcaptures #hello_worldpics @campoviejo

On our recent trip to Spain’s Rioja area, we also managed to visit the stunning Ysios winery, designed by Santiago Calatrava and located at the base of the Sierra de Cantabria 🍷🇪🇸🍷 . . . . . . . #ysios #bodegasysios #sierradecantabria #laguardia #cantabrianmountains #bodega #bodegas #santiagocalatrava #santiagocalatravaarchitecture #art_chitecture_ #architecture #raw_architecture #architecturelovers #archilovers #amazingdestinations #amazingplaces #discoverglobe #worldcaptures #hello_worldpics #rioja #riojawine #spain #visitspain #españa #spanishwine #winelovers #winesofspain #enoturismo #winery #vineyard

RAF 100 year anniversary flyover ✈️

Day 4 - Speyside Way - Fochabers to Buckie (the final day of the Speyside Way, I followed the river to Spey Bay and arrived just in time for the cafe at the dolphin centre to open, (there were apparently dolphin sightings early in the morning but it was blowing a gale and very choppy when I arrived) then it was a very windy walk south to the end of the trail at Buckie. The Speyside Way was a lovely easy trail through farmland, along the old railway line and through attractive villages and towns passing numerous distilleries; if you like whisky, you’d love it even more! 😉) 👣🐬☕️💨🏁 . . . . . . . #speysideway #speyside #whiskytrail #riverspey #speybay #buckie #pebbles #pebblebeach #shinglebeach #nationaltrail #uknationaltrails #scotland #beautifulscotland #lovescotland #thisisscotland #hiddenscotland #ig_scotland #walkhighlands #visitscotland #visitengland #lovegreatbritain #instabritain #ukpotd #uk #ukscenery #photosofbritain #britishsnaps #gloriousbritain #bbctravel #bbcbritain

Day 3 - Speyside Way - Aberlour to Fochabers (an easy stage past Craigellachie bridge, friendly sheep, two deer, rolling hills, and a wonderful night in a gorgeous cottage overlooking the walled garden of Gordon Castle - you’ll have to check the blog for that story! 😉) 👣🐑🦌🌲🌧🌈👸 . . . . . . . #speysideway #speyside #whiskytrail #riverspey #craigellachiebridge #bridge #craigellachie #fochabers #gordoncastle #walledgarden #timelapse #nationaltrail #uknationaltrails #scotland #beautifulscotland #lovescotland #thisisscotland #hiddenscotland #ig_scotland #walkhighlands #visitscotland #visitengland #lovegreatbritain #instabritain #ukpotd #uk #ukscenery #photosofbritain #britishsnaps #gloriousbritain
