Logroño - I didn´t want to leave

We knew we´d strayed off the main tourist track when we found no one else spoke English. It was a great... until we needed to explain that the hot water didn´t work.

It would be very hard not to like Logroño. Right in the Rioja region (known for wine), filled with cobblestoned lanes that opened onto plazas where people spilled out on the streets and music from buskers wafted through. It was so relaxing, eating cheese, pate, hams and biscuits on our tiny balcony, overlooking the locals below (see right).

I can´t say we did a lot in Logroño (apart from the day trip to Pamplona - see other post). Still, food, wine and wandering through town was enough for us...
