The “caves” or family wine cellars, Laguardia, Rioja-Alavesa, Spain. #300311903
Description
The âcavesâ or family wine cellars, so characteristic of Laguardia, Rioja Alavesa, Spain. Each house has its own cellar deep in the ground the size of the cellar is not proportionally related to the size of the house it belongs to, so there are huge houses with small cellars and vice versa. Their main function is keeping and preserving the wine in the most favourable conditions, although for some time in history they may have been used as shelter or military quarters where conspiracy took place and war drafts were made
