Coming from what had been the <a href="/wiki/Ottoman_Empire" title="Ottoman Empire">Ottoman Empire</a>, Saul Menem and his wife were of Armenian and Alawi ancestry. He prospered as a traveling salesman and sent his eldest son, <a href="/wiki/Carlos_Menem" title="Carlos Menem">Carlos Menem</a>, to Spain for college. The younger Menem was elected governor of La Rioja Province in March 1973, was imprisoned during the subsequent <a href="/wiki/National_Reorganization_Process" title="National Reorganization Process">dictatorship</a> and was elected president of Argentina in 1989, serving until 1999. During those years, he steered billions in federal public works spending into La Rioja. Although the province remains less developed than the average in the nation, its economy today compares favorably with those of its neighbors. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Geography">Geography</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=La_Rioja_Province,_Argentina&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Geography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Climate_of_Argentina" title="Climate of Argentina">Climate of Argentina</a> and <a href="/wiki/Climatic_regions_of_Argentina" title="Climatic regions of Argentina">Climatic regions of Argentina</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:La_Rioja_K%C3%B6ppen.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/La_Rioja_K%C3%B6ppen.svg/220px-La_Rioja_K%C3%B6ppen.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="300" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/La_Rioja_K%C3%B6ppen.svg/330px-La_Rioja_K%C3%B6ppen.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/La_Rioja_K%C3%B6ppen.svg/440px-La_Rioja_K%C3%B6ppen.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="699" /></a><figcaption>Köppen climate map of La Rioja, Argentina</figcaption></figure> <p>Located in the <a href="/wiki/Argentine_Northwest" title="Argentine Northwest">Argentine Northwest</a> area, its landscape is arid to semi-arid, and the dry climate receives annually 200 mm of precipitation, has short winters, and very hot summers. </p><p>From the <a href="/wiki/Andes" title="Andes">Andes</a> at the west, with peaks of up to 6,795 meters (<i><a href="/wiki/Monte_Pissis" title="Monte Pissis">Monte Pissis</a></i>), the relief's height descends towards the sierras of the neighbouring dry <a href="/wiki/Pampa" class="mw-redirect" title="Pampa">Pampas</a> zone.
