Logroño, Administrative center in La Rioja, Spain
Logroño is a city on the banks of the Ebro in northern Spain and serves as the administrative seat of the La Rioja region. The old town spreads out in narrow streets and wider squares, while newer neighborhoods extend to the south and east.
The settlement received its city charter at the end of the 11th century, when the Christian kingdoms brought the region under their control. In later centuries it grew into a hub for trade in wine and other agricultural products.
Along Calle Laurel and the surrounding alleys, one bodega follows another, where locals move from place to place in the evening, sampling small portions. This social tradition of eating and drinking still shapes public life in the city and turns the historic center into a lively meeting point.
The city is easy to explore on foot, as the main sights and restaurants in the old town are close together. In summer it can get very hot in the afternoon, so a walk is better suited to the morning or later evening.
At the town hall stands a covered fountain whose basin is filled not with water but with local wine that pilgrims can tap free of charge. The tradition arose as a gesture of hospitality for travelers on the Way of Saint James.
