Santa María de los Reyes details of gate with coat of arms Laguardia 110741_Spain
Laguardia (Basque: Guardia) is a town and municipality located in the province of Álava, in the Basque Country, northern Spain. The site of a 10th century castle, of which two towers remain, the present village has medieval walls dating back to the 15th century surrounding the houses and old cobblestoned streets. The village has many tunnels dug out of the rock, used for storage of the local Rioja wine, some of which can be visited. It is the hometown of the Spanish fabulist Félix María de Samaniego (1745–1801). Located in the south of Alava, la Rioja Alavesa is clearly bounded by the Cantabria mountain range (Sierra de Cantabria) to the north; from here its lands slope gently downwards as far as the Ebro river, where its south boundary is.
