Please note that the annual La Rioja Wine Harvest Festival commences in Logrono on Sept 17th and runs til Sept 24th. I can thoroughly recommend spending a day there.
As the council blurb says;
Logroño goes all out to celebrate the Rioja Wine Harvest Festival, known traditionally as the festivities of San Mateo.
The town is filled with colour and fun in a celebration where wine and grapes take centre stage. There are numerous activities on offer, including traditional foot-crushing of grapes and the offering of the first must to the Virgen de Valvanera. Bull-running with young bulls, parades of floats, music, popular meals for all comers and ball games are a few of the other options in this special festive programme.
Apart from the above there was wine tasting, street performers, parades, musicals (we saw 'Les Mis'), nightime fireworks over the river, even 'proper' bullfighting.
Really worth a day at least!
Good travelling everyone and Buen Camino
Regards
Gerard
