Une fois que vous avez traversé le río Ebro, vous êtes entré dans le Logroño proprement dit.

Méritent d'être visitées la Concatedral de Santa María de La Redonda (elle partage le titre de cathédrale avec Santo Domingo, et elle possède une peinture semi-cachée de la crucifixion réalisée par Michelangelo), l'Iglesia de San Bartolomé, et l'Iglesia de Santiago del Real. Parmi ces dernières, seule la dernière est située le long du chemin du camino, bien que toutes soient faciles à trouver et situées en plein centre.

Si tu t'es habitué à l'habituel Menu de Peregrino pour le dîner, Logroño te fera ajuster un peu ta façon de penser. Ici, ils se lancent dans les repas de type tapas et ils veulent que tu te joignes à eux. Alors dirige-toi vers la Calle Laurel et fais exactement cela... avec un peu de chance, ton albergue garde la porte ouverte un peu plus tard. Si vous allez un peu trop loin, une petite journée à Navarrete demain n'est pas du tout rare.

Fiesta

Logroño semble toujours en état de célébration. Les deux grandes fêtes sont celles de San Bernabé, le 11 juin, et de San Mateo, le 21 septembre. Cette dernière, qui se tient pendant les vendanges d'automne, a beaucoup à voir avec le vin.

History

Comme quelques villes avant, et plusieurs devant, Logroño doit son succès à la construction du pont de pierre sur le río Ebro qui a longtemps été le seul point de passage convenable de ce large fleuve. En tant que tel, il a pu commander un péage, auquel les pèlerins étaient soumis. Malheureusement, très peu de ses monuments médiévaux ont survécu, presque tous ayant été détruits. Logroño en fait, étant donné sa position à la fois le long de l'Ebro et à la frontière, est l'une des villes les plus disputées du nord de l'Espagne. En 1092, elle a été détruite par El Cid.

The Road

La sortie de Logroño n'est pas différente de celle de la plupart des grandes villes en ce sens qu'elle serpente à travers la ville d'une manière qui mélange les points de repère et les aspects pratiques. Il y a beaucoup de flèches pour marquer le chemin, mais la plupart sont peintes en bas des trottoirs et peuvent être difficiles à voir si tu es un marcheur avant l'aube. En cas de doute, dirige-toi vers la cathédrale et, en la gardant dans ton dos, dirige-toi tout droit le long de la Calle de Marqués de San Nicolás. Tu passeras tout droit à travers deux ronds-points, tourne à gauche au troisième.

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
