 The Hotel Marqués de Riscal, Luxury Collection in the middle of the Marqués de Riscal Bodegas in the little town of Elciego in the Rioja. The hotel was designed by superstar architect Frank Gehry and inaugurated in October 2006 in the presence of King Juan Carlos and President Zapatero and a whole host of other prominent personalities. The structure is amazing and there aren't that many good photos around of this place. |

| Related feature: TROGLOIRE "What is not known is that here, around the chateaux and the Royal River as the French sometimes call the Loire, exist huge, silent, roofless worlds. Dug into the cliffs and slopes lie literally hundreds, possibly thousands of kilometers of underground quarries and caves, some of them large enough to drive into, others impossible to find. The latter are unknown, with entrances hidden or covered up, forgotten, perhaps never to be found again."Contact Tor for more details |
