- Enjoying the camino since 2009
Just randomly remembered when I came to Viana last - I prefer to stay there and have a short walk into glorious Logroño to really make the most of the tapas district - there were many, many disappointed and hungry pilgrims drifting around the streets looking for an open restaurant. There were none! Well, there was one - the hotel still served hot meals in the evening, but for hotel guests only - they asked non-residents to leave even after they had sat down. I think it is because they have just enough seating for the guests. We were told the other food places were all taking the Monday night off after working all weekend, which means there are no pilgrim dinners, not even much in the way of tapas in the bars that were open.
So I thought I would warn pilgrims planning on stopping in Viana for the night that they should have their main meal at lunch, in Viana or before, and make do with snacks from the shop in the evening, or buy some food to take away while bar/café/restaurants are still serving. Just a heads-up for the new season.
Oh and if I am misremembering or something has changed, please correct me and/or add info!
