Bodega Finca Manzanos, a family business devoted to the production of Rioja wine, has occupied an exceptional viewpoint over the cradle of Rioja Qualified Denomination of Origin wine, right where the waters of the Rivers Ebro and Ega meet, since 2002. This natural balcony in the Navarrese village of Azagra is a unique, outstandingly fertile location, well worth a visit.

Heir of the Rioja Qualified Denomination of Origin winemaking tradition, the winery is the fruit of the work, effort and experience of five generations of winemakers from the Fernández de Manzanos family. Like a golden treasure, Finca Manzanos has taken up the family tradition and transformed it to create the 'Winery of the XXI century'.

Making full use of the opportunities that new technologies have to offer, Finca Manzanos is a modern, different kind of winery. The goal was to take the leap from winemaking to wine tourism and open the winery to the general public. Certified by Equalitas Vitae, it is the first winery approved for visits by people with disabilities.

The family business is now headed by Guillermina Roldán and her sons Víctor and David Fernández de Manzanos, who keep the memory, enthusiasm and expertise of their husband and father Víctor Fernández de Manzanos Pastor truly alive. This Website is a tribute to him and his work.

Discover the magic of Lanzarote by exploring the spectacular volcanic landscapes which seem to come from distant planets, and where the heat from the centre of the earth shoots to the surface. Relax in the peaceful beaches of white sand and transparent water, and take in the impressive views of the small islets that can be glimpsed from the cliff tops



Lanzarote is a special experience for the senses, especially in terms of sight and sound, which capture these impossible formations in the landscape and the silence which fills you with peace. A Biosphere Reserve, the island also boasts a Marine Reserve, a National Park and 12 natural protected areas: this is a treasure for those who like to spend their leisure time in natural settings, enjoying the sunshine along with the fresh sea air. In the island of the volcanoes you will see, as in nowhere else, the extent to which the volcanic origin of a land influences the lives of its inhabitants. In agricultural settings of great beauty, you will discover how the peasants of Lanzarote worked with nature, in order to survive, and developed a unique system of cultivation that made it possible for them to grow excellent products in an apparently sterile land, where crops are cultivated below a covering of black volcanic sand.

Las Médulas is a Cultural Landscape, the result of the Roman intervention in the territory over two centuries and the changes experienced in this territory up to our time. Its importance, however, goes beyond the monumental remains of Roman gold mining, as it is the product of historical changes of all types that this exploitation and domination implied.
.
The inscription in December 1997 of Las Médulas in the List of World Heritage Sites meant the international recognition of a Cultural Landscape for the first time in Spain.
.
Today Las Médulas is a Bien de Interés Cultural (Cultural Interest Property) as an Archaeological Zone (1996) and, as a Natural Space, recently declared a Natural Monument (2002). But, above all, Las Médulas is a Cultural Park, a dynamic reality in which the fossilised remains are articulated within a living landscape, that of our time, leading the visitor of today’s territory to the ancient territory.
.
The Archaeological Information Centre, at the entrance to Las Médulas village, that was recently reformed for improving his accesibility for all, is the ideal complement to a visit to the area. Here one can find all the information necessary for an understanding of Las Médulas: the cultural landscape is placed into its historical context through maps, models and graphic reconstructions and offers another type of information that is difficult to show on site, such as mining tools or their use in the various phases of the mining system. There is also the projection of a video on the Archaeological Zone.

Santa Marina is a "good example" of the road must be traveled to achieve "basic levels of accessibility 'for all people, said yesterday the head of the Asturian Agency for Disability, Javier Antuña. A few months ago the City purchased a new vehicle to facilitate access to the beach to people who use wheelchairs or have disabilities. It is a model "MR," Caterpillar ", with seat platform on which to anchor the wheelchair, belt and a simple control panel for the person who is responsible for its management. "We came to Ribadesella because we wanted to see this device so new that there is not any other beach in Asturias," said Antunes. The Asturian Agency for Disability subsidized the purchase of the car, which cost about 14,000 euros.

"It offers many guarantees and is safe," said Antuna, after giving a short ride with the contraption, which led the mayor riosellano, Ramon Canal. "They will adapt quite well to the service for which you are thinking," the director said, adding that it would be interesting also to consider their use of forest roads and even visits to the snow, since it has the capacity to explore different types of surfaces . "It is very important that tourism start thinking about the disabled to provide quality services," said Antunes. The director is convinced that the beaches of Asturias are working to improve accessibility but the sands of the South take advantage because 'have long been working in this field. "

Santa Marina Beach is the only Bay of Biscay which has a European certificate Aenor global accessibility, awarded in September 2008. The award certifies the site as ideal for access to all users, both people with disabilities and those without any kind of disability but who benefit from the services.

"We want to keep the certificate and improve," said the mayor riosellano. For Ramon Canal, investment in this type of facility is "a good initiative" and expect a high level of demand for the service over the summer. The beach and had a "anfibugui" that allows the toilet for the disabled with greater mobility problems, but it was necessary to facilitate access to the water. "We found that was very challenging to reach the shore with their wheelchairs and others," Channel said, adding that the new vehicle solves that issue and "low and rises from the sand with no problems."

The vehicle needs a person responsible for their management and effective will be the Red Cross who will take over handling. "We are in negotiations with the Red Cross to conduct the rescue of our beaches this summer," announced the Mayor. So far, the City was responsible for first aid service of the sands, but has decided to request the Red Cross because he has "great experience, can do better and we will cost the same," he acknowledged Canal.

The council has since last December a comprehensive municipal accessibility plan, a detailed guide with recommendations for conditioning spaces and services in the area so they can access and enjoy them all citizens, without exceptions. The paper analyzes in detail the accessibility of public spaces, buildings and other services like banks, sports facilities and exhibition halls. The town already has measures in this regard, in addition to the beach of Santa Marina, as the historical route by the artist Antonio Mingote on the promenade of the crane, which features panels with braille texts and speech.
