Vines

Vines

I'm currently passing through the Tierra de Barros which is renowned for its wines. I've been sampling a few since I arrived in Extremadura and have been thoroughly enjoying them and their refreshing fruity qualities.

At the moment I'm on a 27 km long, nearly die-straight, farm track with not only vines on each side of it, but as vines far as the eye can see in every direction. It's quite impressive and for a wine lover extremely appetising.

I'm staying in Villafranco de Barros tonight, the "capital" of the region, so I suppose it would be rude not to at least sample a couple of glasses.
