A walk along the Calle Laurel in Logrono is fun, fun, fun.

Logrono is the capital of the Rioja region and the Calle Laurel is the tapas central. House wines were all good, but choose the one specialty tapa for each place. Our favourites were the mushrooms and shrimp on bread at Bar Soriano.

The peppers, olives and anchovies at Suria la Hez were surprisingly good. 

Our very favourite was Patas Bravas with aioli.

These were nicer looking than they tasted. 

Everything was better than expected. The people of Rioja love their food and take pride in what they serve you. Just wander and try whatever strikes your fancy and you'll have a great time. You just need a designated driver.
