AND THE RIOJA DISTRICT |
| The
Summer 2001 I made a trip to Spain with my Collegue Steinar and his wife's
sister's Husband Walther. We arrived in Barcelona by Plane from Oslo and
spent a Weekend there. What a friendly City! Three Highlights: The Market, the Beach and the
Bars in the Harbour. |

- What
a Market Place - and what prices for us Norwegians |
| The
very first thing to do after having rented a car was to see the famous
Rioja Wine District and pay the perhaps most famous of all the Rioja
Bodegas, FAUSTINO, a visit. |
