Between La Tomatina in Buñol and the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, there are plenty of festivals that combine culture and sport in Spain. When it comes to La Rioja, La Batalla del Vino pays homage to the essence of the region: vino. Kicking off in the quiet town of Haro on June 29 (the day of the patron saint San Pedro) of each year, La Batalla del Vino is a good-natured fight between two teams who throw down thousands of liters of wine from buckets and squirt guns.
