Tricio is a town in the territory of La Rioja (the name appeared in a charter of 1099) was formerly known as the province of Logroño for the fortified site around which it developed. The 16th-century church Iglesia de San Miguel, seen in the pictures, is in the middle of the town square.
The area was occupied by the Romans and the hills are full of holes made for dwellings. Pieces of pottery, dating back to Roman times, can be found as shallow as six inches below the ground.
La Rioja is known for their wine. Vineyards can be seen off in the horizon in every direction.
