La Casa del Cofrade is the first WINE CELLAR - HOTEL in La Rioja that was originated in the premises of Bodegas Vinícola Real in Albelda de Iregua village, only 15 km of distance from Logroño, the capital of La Rioja

Albelda de Iregua's History goes back to X century. In those days, San Martín of Albelda Monastery had already been built, it was as important as the famous Yuso and Suso Monasteries in San Millán de la Cogolla. In San Martín Monastery, it was said that there were round 200 monks, that's why the mark par excellence of Bodegas Vinícola Real´s wine is "200 Monges", with "g", because of old writing. In this Monastery was done the famous Albeldense or Vigilano Codex, whose pictures we have based on to named the Hotel rooms, examples of them are "La Rosa de los Vientos", "La Cruz de los Ángeles", "La Tentación" etc...
