Uncastillo - Ábalos

Travel day - headed for the Rioja region. A beautiful day for driving. As we neared the Rioja area, we stopped for some lunch (huge bocadillos) in Los Arcos, arriving at in Ábalos in late afternoon. One feature of the area around Uncastillo and toward Tafalla is huge numbers of windmills - not the Don Quixote type, but the electricity-generating type. They are numerous and actually fit into the landscape quite nicely. We've included a couple of photos.

We then quickly explored the village (it's not very big!) and took a brief driving tour (Haro and back), just to see what the area was like. Then, dinner at the hotel. There really are no other options here if you don't want to drive, which is unfortunate. However, the food is very good.
