Photo Above - a open gate offers a glimpse into a Laguardia garden.

Laguardia was, technically, established in the 10th century when a castle was build at this site. Today, the only remnant of this castle are two bell towers. In the 1100's AD Laguardia was given town status by royal decree.

Additional sights in the region:

Not far from Laguardia is La Hoya. Oil workers discovered a Bronze age (1400's BC) village in La Hoya and today you can learn about this archeological site with a trip to La Hoya Museo Y Poblado. Also near Laguardia can be found a number of store structures from the Neolithic period (4000 BC), the Cave of Husos, Dolmans of San Martin, Elvillar, El Sotillo and A Ho de a la Huesera. You might want to check with the tourist office in Laguardia for directions.

In addition to sampling the wine and restaurants of the area many come to Laguardia to experience the Sierra Cantabria mountains, take horse back rides and walk a network of trails that transverse the Rioja region.
