Cave of Lóbrega

In the summer of 1865, two French scientists named Lartet (father and son) arrived in Logroño. Their intention was to investigate whether the caves of the peninsula had been inhabited by humans contemporary with the great mammoths, bison, giant bears, and sabre-toothed cats. They were directed that the best area to search was the so-called Lóbrega cave, very close to Torrecilla en Cameros, half an hour from Logroño.

For our part, the aim was to visit the La Rioja Alta wineries in the town of Haro, but we thought it wise to earn our lunch by making some effort beforehand. So in the morning, we hired a mountain guide to lead us through the aforementioned cave, a moderately difficult caving route, barely 5 kilometres in a circular trail that takes a couple of hours. Despite being easily visitable caves, visibility is poor and the ground can be damp and slippery, so it is essential to put yourself in the hands of professionals who take extreme precautions.

As you crawl and scramble through narrow passages and galleries, the guide explains the Neolithic evidence found: skulls, bones, animal remains, pottery... it is absolutely impossible not to imagine how our ancestors lived. 

And in the afternoon, the jackpot, the longed-for visit to one of my father's favourite wineries, La Rioja Alta SA, of which he was a loyal customer and a member of the Winegrowers' Club, acquiring exclusive wines that couldn't be bought on the market, a passion that has been inherited with great enthusiasm by his children.
