7- Information about La Rioja
La Rioja is located in Northern Spain. This region is known for its wine
production and its natural richness (cultivated valleys and almost
untouched oak and beechwood forests in the mountains). Several of its towns
are part of the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela and the
monastery of San Mill=E1n de la Cogolla is home to the first written
documents in the Spanish language. The University of La Rioja's interest in
language studies has given rise to the organization of several
International Conferences on Historical Linguistics. For more information
on the area and on the University of La Rioja visit the following webpages:
