Las Fiestas De San Mateo - Held in the middle of September starting on the 20th the fiestas of San Mateo celebrate the grape harvest. The Chupinazo on the 20th signals the start of the celebrations and has to be seen to be believed, just don't wear your best clothes. The rest of the week is great homage to all things Riojan. JUST DO IT!
