The Top 10 Things To See And Do In Logroo

Logroño is the often-overlooked capital of the region of La Rioja. Most travellers just stop for the night while walking the Camino de Santiago or head straight out to the vineyards in the surrounding countryside. Here are 10 things to do and see in Logroño that might persuade you to stay longer.

Go tapas bar hopping

Going tapas bar hopping is one of the best things you can do in Logroño. Unlike other cities in Spain, where there are various types of tapas on the menu, many of the bars in Logroño specialise in one particular product. There are a couple of bars, for example, that only offer mushrooms, served lightly grilled and dripping with garlic butter. There are also many bars that serve delicious Basque pintxos. The best street for bar hopping is Calle Laurel, in the heart of the Old Town. Check out our list of Logroño’s best tapas bars to help you decide where to go.
