ALBERITE

ALBERITE is a small village 7 km far from Logrono, the capital city of LA RIOJA. La Rioja is a tiny and beautiful region world wide known by its famous wines.
There are aproximately 2000 inhabitants in this village. The population is increasing due to the fact that this village is a convenient place to live quite close to a city but with advantages of living in the countryside.
