Day 23 cont'd: Bierzo Valley

We're a few kilometers from Ponferrada but we've decided to rest our
feet for a few minutes and give the Bierzo Valley wine a try. This
valley is know for the mansilla grapes they grow and it's the only
grape that goes into the making of their earthy, smooth and delicious
wine.

  2. Mencia grapes-- as well, keep an eye out for godello or albarino.
