Wenn du den Río Ebro überquert hast, hast du das eigentliche Logroño erreicht.

Eine Besichtigung wert sind die Concatedral de Santa María de La Redonda (sie teilt sich den Titel der Kathedrale mit Santo Domingo und hat ein halb verstecktes Gemälde der Kreuzigung von Michelangelo), die Iglesia de San Bartolomé und die Iglesia de Santiago del Real. Von diesen liegt nur die letztgenannte an der Camino-Route, obwohl alle leicht zu finden und zentral gelegen sind.

Wenn du dich an das übliche Menu de Peregrino zum Abendessen gewöhnt hast, wirst du im Logroño ein wenig umdenken müssen. Hier wird im Tapas-Stil gegessen, und du sollst dich ihnen anschließen. Also mach dich auf den Weg zur Calle Laurel und tu genau das... hoffentlich hält deine Herberge die Tür noch ein bisschen länger offen. Wenn du es ein bisschen übertreibst, ist ein kurzer Tag in Navarrete morgen gar nicht so unüblich.

Feiertage

Logroño scheint immer in einem Zustand des Feierns zu sein. Die beiden großen Feste sind San Bernabé am 11. Juni und San Mateo am 21. September. Bei letzterem, das während der Herbsternte stattfindet, dreht sich alles um Wein.

Geschichte

Wie schon einige Städte zuvor und einige danach verdankt Logroño seinen Erfolg dem Bau der Steinbrücke über den Río Ebro, die lange Zeit der einzige geeignete Übergang über diesen breiten Fluss war. Als solche war sie in der Lage, eine Maut zu erheben, der die Pilger unterworfen waren. Leider sind nur sehr wenige der mittelalterlichen Bauwerke erhalten geblieben, die fast alle zerstört wurden. Logroño ist aufgrund seiner Lage am Ebro und an der Grenze eine der am meisten umkämpften Städte im Norden Spaniens. Im Jahr 1092 wurde sie von El Cid zerstört.

Wegbeschreibung

Wenn du Logroño verlässt, ist es nicht anders als in den meisten anderen Großstädten, denn der Weg schlängelt sich quer durch die Stadt und vermischt Sehenswürdigkeiten mit praktischen Dingen. Es gibt viele Pfeile, die den Weg markieren, aber die meisten sind niedrig auf die Bordsteine gemalt und können schwer zu sehen sein, wenn du vor der Morgendämmerung unterwegs bist. Im Zweifelsfall solltest du dich auf den Weg zur Kathedrale machen und mit ihr im Rücken geradeaus die Calle de Marqués de San Nicolás entlang gehen. Du kommst geradeaus durch zwei Kreisverkehre und biegst am dritten links ab.

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
