🍷 Logroño & Its Culinary Delights

📍 European Stop #: Logroño, Spain Nestled in northern Spain as the capital of La Rioja, this charming city might have slipped under the radar if not for the Camino de Santiago. But oh, what a gem! 🌟 Why Fall in Love with Logroño? 🏡 Cozy & Colorful: Narrow streets that buzz with life yet whisper tranquility. Time slows here—no room for worries! 🗣️ Warm Locals: Always eager to teach you a Spanish phrase or two. 🍷 Pilgrim’s Paradise: A perfect pitstop for Camino travelers to refuel (and indulge). 🍢 The Legendary Calle de Laurel (Tapas Street)! Where €1 wines flow like water (yes, even two fine glasses for a Coke Zero!) and pinchos reign supreme. By 10 PM, the street erupts into a festival of flavors—standing, chatting, feasting under the stars. Must-Try Spots: Bar Mesón del Abuelo 🦐 – "Grandpa’s Tavern" serves fresh seafood with divine sauces. Went back twice! Bar Cid 🍄 – Famous for crispy fried mushrooms (crowd favorite!). Bar Lorenzo "Agus Tio" 🥪 – Bustling spot for pincho sandwiches (skip the chicken, but the celeb-covered walls are fun!). Bar Angel 🔥 – Grilled mushroom skewers = perfection. La Taberna del Laurel 🥔 – Patatas bravas with fluffy potatoes and killer sauce. EntreTapas 941 🍷 – The owner’s Camino stories (even if I nodded cluelessly 😆). Torrecilla 🐚 – Scallops to die for. 📸 Final Snap: A lazy alley bathed in golden light (see pic!). Camino dreamers, take notes! #Logroño #SpanishPinchos #FoodieHeaven #TapasTrail #CaminoEats 🍷✨
