Logroño: top attractions & road trip guide
Logroño is the capital of La Rioja and a lively stop on the Camino Francés, where pilgrims cross the Ebro River before continuing west through Spain's most famous wine region. The old town's tapas alleys and Gothic-Renaissance cathedral give it an energy distinct from the quieter villages along the route.
Set on the Ebro plain between Navarre and Castile, the city works well as a base for exploring nearby Rioja vineyards by car, with easy day trips to bodegas and hilltop wine towns in every direction.
