Paseo del Espolón, Central park in Logroño, Spain
Paseo del Espolón is a central park in Logroño featuring symmetrical gardens with shaded tree-lined paths and decorative fountains arranged across a rectangular layout. Multiple monuments and sculptures are positioned throughout the space, creating focal points along the walkways.
Construction of the park began in 1757 under Corregidor Lorenzo de Valcarze y Mendoza, marking a major transformation of the city center. This development established the area as a central gathering point and shaped Logroño's urban character for centuries to come.
The park serves as a gathering place where locals celebrate important community events throughout the year, and it holds deep significance for the region's wine traditions. Visitors can experience how this space connects people to their heritage and local customs.
An underground parking facility beneath the park provides easy access to the city center and nearby commercial areas. The park is accessible on foot from most parts of the city and remains open for visits throughout the day.
The park contains a shell-shaped auditorium built in 1954 that replaced an earlier music kiosk from 1892. This venue continues to host live musical performances and local cultural events.
