Når du har krydset río Ebro, er du kommet ind i selve Logroño.

Værd at besøge er Concatedral de Santa María de La Redonda (den deler titlen som katedral med Santo Domingo, og den har et halvskjult maleri af korsfæstelsen af Michelangelo), Iglesia de San Bartolomé og Iglesia de Santiago del Real. Af disse ligger kun den sidste langs camino-ruten, men de er alle nemme at finde og ligger centralt.

Hvis du har vænnet dig til den sædvanlige Menu de Peregrino til aftensmad, vil Logroño få dig til at justere din tankegang en smule. Her går de ind for tapas-stil, og de vil have dig til at spise med. Så tag over til Calle Laurel og gør netop det... forhåbentlig holder din albergue døren åben lidt sent. Hvis du går lidt over gevind, er en kort dag til Navarrete i morgen slet ikke ualmindelig.

Fiesta

Logroño synes altid at være i en tilstand af fest. De to store festivaler er for San Bernabé den 11. juni og San Mateo den 21. september. Den sidste af disse to, der afholdes under efterårshøsten, har meget med vin at gøre.

History

Ligesom et par byer før, og flere foran, skylder Logroño sin succes til konstruktionen af stenbroen over río Ebro, som i lang tid var det eneste egnede krydsningspunkt for denne brede flod. Som sådan var den i stand til at opkræve en vejafgift, som pilgrimme blev underlagt. Desværre har meget få af byens middelalderlige monumenter overlevet, næsten alle er blevet ødelagt. Logroño er faktisk, på grund af sin placering både langs Ebro og ved grænsen, en af de mest omkæmpede byer i det nordlige Spanien. I 1092 blev den ødelagt af El Cid.

The Road

At forlade Logroño er ikke ulig at forlade de fleste store byer, idet den snor sig gennem byen på en måde, der blander vartegn med praktiske ting. Der er masser af pile, der viser vej, men de fleste er malet lavt på kantstenene og kan være svære at se, hvis man går før daggry. Hvis du er i tvivl, så gå hen til katedralen og med den i ryggen ligeud ad Calle de Marqués de San Nicolás. Du vil passere lige gennem to rundkørsler, drej til venstre i den tredje.

I took my first rest day of the Camino, In Logrono . My legs and feet hurt, and I had developed to blisters. I called Alberto who others had recommended, and was equally, if not more satisfied.
As he didn’t speak, I didn’t offer any specific complaints. But he is a true healer, and naturally went to my bad foot, which felt like it had a bruised arch. It was the most therapeutic massage I’ve ever had, put me back on the Camino in fantastic shape. Highly recommend. He was able to come just a couple hours after I messaged him +34 618 61 64 94

Wonderful cafe, very nice people. Located on your way out in Parque San Miguel. Stop in!

I arrived in Logroño from the Camino with tired, sore legs but most of all aching feet. I’d read the above recommendation for Alberto Quiromasaje and decided to give him a call. In our respective Spanish (him) and English (me), we arranged for him to come to my hotel, which he was able to do right away. Which for those of us not based locally, seemed a bit odd … but then Alberto turned up and immediately put my mind at ease. He’s a gentle soul who clearly cares about the health of the human body. My hour with him wasn’t so much a traditional massage as more what I would describe as something akin to hands-on reiki. All I can say is that by the end of the hour, my feet felt amazing and I could walk easily with absolutely no tiredness or pain. I think of Alberto as the ‘muscle whisperer’. If you want to book him, his number is +34 618 61 64 94.

My least favorite thus far. I am not picky and do not have luxury taste however this one was rough, even for me. The mattresses are bags of springs, the aisles between beds do’t allow room for one person to have their pack out and another passing by. The showers are tiny. Men’s and women’s restrooms are segregated by floor so one group or the other are constantly up and down the stairs. The foot pool and kitchen are the best parts of the albergue. If it wasn’t for the price I don’t think many would stay.

Not my favorite. Had a little pool for your feet. Three of four showers were broken. Really dark and narrow bedrooms. But totally okay for one night.

If you’re not happy with a remote host and instructions via WhatsApp, no bellboys or receptionists or concierge look elsewhere.

But if you’re comfortable with a private room, an en suite toilet and shower, a quiet residential location and secure access linked to your mobile number then this is the place for you. No frills but excellent price and location and WhatsApp support for the most mundane question like nearest laundromat? Plus suggestions of places to eat that are value for money and which Logrones frequent means they’re all about authenticity not tourism. Recommended.

Stayed there a few nights ago as accommodations were difficult to come by with the holiday. 25 euros for a bunk bed which I had to squeeze myself in between the bed and a post. No outdoor space, barely any windows. Had to send a picture of my credit card through WhatsApp which seemed weird to me. Got a code to go in via WhatsApp. No one to greet me, check my passport as required and no stamp in my Credencial. If you have other options, I don't recommend going there.

Arrived and there was no one there to check me in. Just a complicated set of instructions and a request to send my passport via what's app to a number that what's app did not recognize. Messaged for help with no response so I left and went to an alburegue. Stay with the pilgrims and people who know walking is difficult enough at the end of the day. Having someone to greet you and get you into accomodations is essential.

There’s a shoe store around the corner from Plaza de Mercados called Atleet. Excellent selection of camino-appropriate shoes including Hoka, plus lots of socks including toe socks
