Logrono; wine and emblematic architecture

The name La Rioja is know throughout the world a wine producing region. But besides the wine Logrono is a great place for the tapa connoisseur. Architect buffs can visit the region’s bodegas designed by world renowned architects.  An emblematic arms race between local wine produces a form of keeping up the Joneses.

If you choose to stay in Logrono and avoid mixing drinking with driving there used to be a Vinobus that would take you to a village to be entertained by the Mayor and then taken to a bodega (winery) to sample the local produce.  It appears that the vinobus has been replaced by the Celtibus and Dinobus whether this includes a stop at bodega or not remains unclear.
