Before you go: Logroño tips
Transportation
- Arrive by train or bus: Logrono's combined Renfe station and bus terminal sit south of the centre, linking to Madrid, Bilbao, Zaragoza and Pamplona.
- Walk the compact centre: The old town, Calle Laurel and the Ebro riverside are all walkable from most hotels.
- Rent a car for Rioja wineries: Haro, Laguardia and San Millan de la Cogolla are much easier to reach by car or organised tour.
Security
- Mind bags in busy bars: Calle Laurel gets packed on weekend nights; keep phones and wallets close.
- Watch out on the Camino: Pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago pass through; keep valuables secure in albergues.
- Drink water between pinchos: Rioja wine flows freely on tapas crawls; pace yourself and plan your way home.
Saving
- Do the pincho crawl: On Calle Laurel and Calle San Juan each bar has one signature pincho with a glass of wine at low prices.
- Order a crianza by the glass: Local Rioja wines by the glass are cheap and good; no need to buy bottles in restaurants.
- Choose the menu del dia: Weekday lunch menus with three courses and wine offer great value.
Weather/Clothing
- Expect hot dry summers: July and August are hot; plan visits early or late in the day.
- Pack a coat for cold winters: Winters are chilly with frosty nights.
- Bring layers for harvest season: September and October are pleasant but evenings cool down.
Cultural
- Join the San Mateo festival: The September wine harvest festival includes grape treading and parades.
- Visit the Concatedral de Santa Maria de la Redonda: Its twin baroque towers dominate the old town.
- Try local specialties: Champinones a la plancha at Bar Angel and patatas a la riojana are local classics.
Local Hacks
- Go out late: Pincho bars fill from around 8pm and stay busy late.
- Visit bodegas near town: Some wineries are a short drive from the city centre.
- Walk the Ebro river parks: Riverside paths are great for a morning stroll.
