Best place to stay: Logroño or Naverette?

Logrono or Naverette. ? Where would I be better staying ?

Personally, I love the little albergue that is behind you and to your right just as you walk into Navarette. It is easily missed. JUST as you walk into Navarette, you will see an arrow pointing BACKWARDS and to the right. Clean, friendly, and convenient. They also have one or two private rooms.

It really depends on what you want. Of course, Logroño is a wonderful place if you like to party and go for tapas at night. But if you want a quieter experience, I vote for Navarette. Be sure to see the church there.

Angel is his name IIRC. Nice helpful chap

Albergue de Perregrinos casa Angel ... something along those lines

Why not both? Logrono is where I like to check into a hotel for a bath tub, and eat a real Spanish dinner. After a lazy breakfast, wander to navarette. These "short" days replace off days for me. The body gets a break, the mind stays in the pilgrim zone.

I agree, I was just about to post this same advice! In Logroño enjoy the tapas on Calle del Laurel, sleep in a bit, then have a short walk to Navarette.

I feel the same. I very rarely spend two nights in the same place as I generally feel too restless and want to keep moving onwards. But a short day sometimes feels like a good idea.

Calle Laurel in Logroño opens late and shuts early except Friday and Saturday, it has a couple of highlights (anywhere serving just one tapa is always excellent) and a few ‘meh’ options. I’d go 1. Both or 2. Navarrete

I vote for Navarrete.

We like to stay in both........
Are you in a rush?

 

[Jodean]

We stayed in both, including staying with Angel in Navarete. Such a sweet, friendly host and a great cook too. Comfy beds and nice showers.
Do make time to visit the church in Navarete. It is stunning, especially when you pop a 1 € coin into the box to illuminate the altar.

Of the two, I’d go for Logroño, for its tapas places, if nothing else. Navarrete is a nice village and I stayed there for one night, but it’s quite small.

I really like that one in Navarette, too. I stayed in Logrono several times because I arrived 5 or 6 pm after a long day. It is OK, but tends to be crowded with tourists and locals, and very noisy until late or even all night.

Navarette for its small village charm amd tranquility. Logroño if you want bigger crowds and mix with a lot of drinkers and foodies.

I think Logrono, only if you're taking a rest day there. I just spent the night and found that I really didn't get to see anything or enjoy the tapas scene as I was so tired from walking and had to get up at 5am the next day to start walking (it was in July). By the time I was going to bed the tapas places were just opening.
