While many Autumn travellers head to the streets of Barcelona in the search of good tapas, the clever tourist heads down a bit lower, a hour and a half a way from Bilbao for a great culinary experience.Spain's Rioja region offers some of the best places to eat and drink in the whole country, with two of the most raved about foodie destinations within very close distance of one another, one is Laguardia, the other is Logrono. There are Spanish men who trawl from town to town by bicycle searching for the best dishes and wines, though realistically you'll need a car to get about.Renting one of the Spanish villas in Laguardia offers a great opportunity to get about and sample the diverse offerings from around the region. The first port of call here is the turreted Castillo El Collado, where we are met with some of the most mouth watering Jamon, with a fine bottle of Rioja to wash it down with.In the area there is a rustic feel, a rather old worldly destination of old villas and plenty of greenery, but the wineries can offer a different feeling.

The former maps are considered to be simple, flat plans, for instance, street maps. These are of no use to hill walkers. The latter on the other hand, show the shape of the land. They provide extensive close up detail about the area or place. Contours lines are used in these maps, these lines join the points of equal height together. Topographic maps unlike other maps are somehow considered to be three dimensional. These maps through contour lines shows the approximate shape of the area, for instance, if we talk about hills, it will show you where the ridges, plateaus, and cirques are. And also give you an idea about possible height, pointed or flat surface.One main problem with reading contours in the map is to differentiate between spurs and valleys.
