Biggest city in Riojo region, going to Logrono, Spain

Logrono is less than an hour away from LaGuardia our homebase. The biggest deal was finding maps, street signs and parking. Once this was accomplished, we spent about six hours shopping, eyeballing the architecture, buildings, churches and enjoying the old downtown.


While bet shopped, I sat having a beer at an outside café in a pedestrian area. Very enjoyable, the Spanish have a very easy going life style. The remaining time bet and I just eased around walking everywhere our feet would carry us. For once we didn’t eat, like we finally skipped a meal.


We returned to LaGuardia and dined on Serrano ham, machenogo and goat cheeses in the plaza of the small town. The plaza was filled with tables provided by the wine shop & corner bar. People of all ages, locals and tourist were gathered just enjoying the gorgeous weather, food and drink.

At dusk the plaza’s clock put on a show for the folks. This clock does a Glockenspiel thingie at 8 pm. The clocks doors swing open and three dancers come out and do some spins and turns.

With this we call it a night and retreat to our quarters at the Marixa and watch the night fall over the Rioja vineyards.

We sipped big red Rioja wine to warm us from the cool of the night .... see ya,
