The most expensive Spanish wines come from Ribera del Duero, the part of Spain bordering northern Portugal. But the real discovery, made after I moved to Spain (since by and large only Rioja and Ribera del Duero are exported), is that other parts of the country, such as Mallorca, Castilla La Mancha, Catalunya, or right here in Alicante province, produce really good and interesting wines, and inexpensive to boot.
