Logrono, Spain (August 2025)

Our last destination in this trip to Northern Spain was Logroño, the capital city of an autonomous region called La Rioja. La Rioja is famous for its vineyards. As we drove, we found the vineyards all over the region. In Logorno, the most famous experience is walking around at Calle de Laurel for Tapeo or eating tapas. 

Logorno is not a big city, but it has a statue and a plaza at the city center, quite prominently. 

Logorno has a river flowing through the city, called the Rio Ebro. As I was doing the morning walk along and over the river, the scenery was beautiful.

The narrow streets and alleys blocked the view to various buildings and structures. So it was a pleasant discovery to spot them here and there.

Co-Cathedral of Santa Maria de la Redonda

We stopped by a city market. It was quite small, but it is always fun to see the fruits and vegetables the farmers sell.

We saw a sign for Iglesia de San Esteban or Saint Stephen's Church. Stephen has a special meaning for me since it was he who led me to be born again through his story in Acts 6 and 7 in the bible. It was a small church, but I praised and thanked the Lord for His grace for me. 

We drove to Haro, a municipality of La Rioja, where the Haro Wine Festival takes place annually. There were many vineyards and wine tasting places, but we decided to skip the experience here.

Although short, we could sense the vibe of the city during the day and the night. We felt satisfied with our experiences here. - Jeffrey
