Due to time constraints, I may be starting from Logrono this fall and likely will be in private accommodation that first night.
Previously when I was there, I had already formed a small camino family including some who were fluent in Spanish and we did the tapas crawl together. Although great fun, I recall it was a little overwhelming and I was glad to be part of a group.
But if I begin in Logrono I won't have made acquaintances yet. Funny, I can walk across Spain by myself, but for some reason I'm feeling a little anxious about attempting the tapas crawl alone. Though I guess I don't actually have to "crawl" - I could just stay in one place. My Spanish is rudimentary. (Lo hablo un poco, pero no mucho.)
Any suggestions for doing the Logrono tapas scene by oneself?
Do you have a guidebook for the Camino Frances yet? If you don't I suggest that you purchase one for research purposes at the very least. You can buy one here on this forum. Personally I like the Brierley guidebook.Great question! I'm planning an extended stay in Logrono myself (June) and am looking forward to a crawl(s) with other peregrinos. Looking for ideas for accommodations.
Just go for it. Don’t worry about getting served. Even without speaking any Spanish, you’ll be able to get something to eat and drink. They are very good at that in the tapas bars.Due to time constraints, I may be starting from Logrono this fall and likely will be in private accommodation that first night.

Yes, big cities can be lonely by yourself.Any suggestions for doing the Logrono tapas scene by oneself?
I share these feelings. But remember - it is not an inadequacy in you, it is simply a different circumstance.Funny, I can walk across Spain by myself, but for some reason I'm feeling a little anxious about attempting the tapas crawl alone. Though I guess I don't actually have to "crawl" - I could just stay in one place.
So, just do what seems appropriate - you need something to eat, and you might meet some people in the process. Or you might not - but enjoy your experience even if it is not the same experience as you might idealize.Do not overthink it.
Hey family, well yes I was going to walk 500 miles, but instead I saw this website and decided to spend 7 weeks in Logrono.

Hoy cruzamos un territorio vitivinícola de anchos valles y suaves montañas; la autovía A-12 vuelve a ser una incómoda compañía en varios tramos. La etapa presenta dos ascensos progresivos y moderados: El Alto de la Grajera y el Alto de San Antón. En verano, el calor suele ser intenso.www.gronze.com
Look for blonds/blondes and redheads?just do it! You also could visit a Albergue and ask some pilgrims to go out together.....or just look for people with tanned lines/ flip flops or sandals and join them...
Maybe not a bad idea!Hey family, well yes I was going to walk 500 miles, but instead I saw this website and decided to spend 7 weeks in Logrono.
The first time not easy to find, best to go to the Eroski store at Gonzalo De Berceo square and call, you will be picked up. Clean rooms and very fair prices. On crawling distance to la Laurel and located along to Camino, just follow the arrows.Great question!

I stopped my last camino in Pamplona due to weather but I wanted to walk a sea-to-sea Barcelona to San Sebastián. I could have stopped in Irun but my target was San Sebastián to make Peg jealous.Hey family, well yes I was going to walk 500 miles, but instead I saw this website and decided to spend 7 weeks in Logrono.

There's a good tourism office in Logrono. When you arrive there check it out. They have a city map they can give you and answer any questions you have and even stamp your credentials.Pension Laurel

I did it alone this past August. I prefer alone. Although I am fluent in Spanish so I can get my socializing in if I want to.Due to time constraints, I may be starting from Logrono this fall and likely will be in private accommodation that first night.

In three visits to Logrono, and many long and enjoyable hours in and around Calle Laurel both in company and alone, I have never once heard of or thought of it as "the tapas crawl".
Do you have any idea what time the bars open? Some of us are early risers and can't do the 10:00 fun. Just can't go to bed with a full belly. Thanks!Absolutely get a private room. The pinchos fun starts after 10pm. And albergues close at that time.
The food and wine is amazing.
And even without Spanish. Just point and say por favor
Past 10:00 pm. lolDo you have any idea what time the bars open? Some of us are early risers and can't do the 10:00 fun. Just can't go to bed with a full belly. Thanks!
Tapas crawl does give it a rather tacky feeling
Wrong. You can go in around 7.30 pm and you will not be the first.Past 10:00 pm. lol
Might it depend upon what it takes to wash it down?
If they're teenagers, maybe. lolAnd that brings us to the idea that many people think that you need alcohol to enjoy a good evening.
You do not need that ay all.
Some first timers on a Camino might get the impression that alcohol is a must on a Camino and I always assure them that this is not the case.
They're definitely open earlier than 10 pm. I usually ate lunch and dinner there.Do you have any idea what time the bars open? Some of us are early risers and can't do the 10:00 fun. Just can't go to bed with a full belly. Thanks!
The Spanish eat lunch as their main meal of the day. So in the evenings they have tapas or pinxos (snacks).Just can't go to bed with a full belly.
Occasionally on the Camino I've made lunch and dinner both my main meals in a day.At home supper is my main meal of the day, but on the camino I adapt to the Spanish way and make lunch my main meal of the day.
I love Logrono and it has some of the most beautiful tapas I've seen! I've posted this picture before, but I think the tapas made into sailing ships are so adorable!Then I enjoy the tapas in the evening!
