Una vez que haya cruzado el río Ebro, ha entrado en Logroño propiamente dicho.

Vale la pena visitar la Concatedral de Santa María de La Redonda (comparte el título de Catedral con Santo Domingo, y tiene una pintura semioculta de la crucifixión de Miguel Ángel), la Iglesia de San Bartolomé y la Iglesia de Santiago del Real. De estos, solo el último se encuentra a lo largo de la ruta del camino, aunque todos son fáciles de encontrar y están ubicados en el centro.

Fiesta

Logroño parece estar siempre en estado de celebración. Las dos grandes fiestas son para San Bernabé el 11 de junio y San Mateo el 21 de septiembre. Este último de estos dos, celebrado durante la cosecha de otoño, tiene mucho que ver con el vino.

History

Como algunas ciudades anteriores, y varias por delante, Logroño debe su éxito a la construcción del puente de piedra sobre el río Ebro que durante mucho tiempo fue el único punto de cruce adecuado de este amplio río. Como tal, pudo obtener un peaje, al que fueron sometidos los peregrinos. Desafortunadamente, muy pocos de sus monumentos medievales han sobrevivido, casi todos ellos destruidos. Logroño, de hecho, dada su posición tanto a lo largo del Ebro como en la frontera, es una de las ciudades más batalladas por el norte de España. En 1092 fue destruido por El Cid.

The Road

Salir de Logroño no es diferente a salir de la mayoría de las grandes ciudades en que serpentea a través de la ciudad de una manera que mezcla puntos de referencia con aspectos prácticos. Hay muchas flechas para marcar el camino, pero la mayoría están pintadas bajo en bordillos y puede ser difícil de ver si eres un caminante antes del amanecer. En caso de duda, diríjase a la Catedral y con ella a su espalda, diríjase directamente por la calle de Marqués de San Nicolás. Pasará recto a través de dos rotondas, gire a la izquierda en la tercera.

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
