San Mateo Festival – Rioja Wine Harvest Festivity

Logroño is located in North Spain in La Rioja region. The city celebrates, every year at the beginning of fall, the vintage of Rioja grapes’ fiesta. These are the grapes that are used to manufacture the local Rioja wine. The celebrations are known as San Mateo (Saint Matthew) Fiestas. On the festival’s day, the city streets are filled with celebrators.

During the festival, accommodation may be scarce owing to higher demands, therefore it is advisable to check accommodation prices and make reservations ahead of time.

A special emphasis of the celebrations is squeezing the must out of the grapes in the traditional way by pressing the grapes with the people feet. Among other activities of the festival is the serve of the must as an offering to the saint Virgen de Valvanera.

A colorful parade with various shows, music performances, local sport events as well as traditional bullfight is integral part of the celebrations.

Spain background and overview
Spain's powerful world empire of the 16th and 17th centuries ultimately yielded command of the seas to England. Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in economic and political power. Spain remained neutral in World Wars I and II, but suffered through a devastating civil war (1936-39). A peaceful transition to democracy following the death of dictator Francisco FRANCO in 1975, and rapid economic modernization (Spain joined the EU in 1986), have given Spain one of the most dynamic economies in Europe and made it a global champion of freedom. Continuing challenges include Basque Fatherland and Liberty (ETA) terrorism and relatively high unemployment.
