Marqués de Riscal — Winery in Elciego

The region's oldest bodega (founded in 1858) wanted its new building to make a statement nobody could top, and brought in Frank Gehry, the architect of the Guggenheim Bilbao. The result: an undulating roof of titanium sheets in pink, gold and silver above the traditional 19th-century winery, now one of the most photographed buildings in Spain. A tour covers both the historic cellars and the futuristic new complex, which also houses a luxury hotel and restaurant. The village of Elciego itself, with its narrow lanes, makes a lovely contrast with the ultra-modern building.
