We will be starting our Camino by taking the train from Barcelona to Logrono on a Sunday evening. Will we be safe walking from the train station to Calle del Laurel area at 8 PM? More importantlywill tapas still be served late into the evening? Thanks!
Two places especially come to mind : one bar that specializes in patatas bravas , other in champinones.
@sudaki the street mentioned in previous post would be Calle Laurel I guess and can only recommend the visit. It's very close to main square and the cathedral. Everybody knows where it is, so just ask and you'll be there in a minute. Buen provechoFrom my Logrono notes: "Anna and I dined on a street with some 30 tapas bars occupying every storefront. We started at a place which only served mushrooms (one of our favorites), sauteed in butter and garlic, stacked in 3 with a toothpick and a small shrimp, then planted on top of a slice of roll. We had these with a very good local hard cider, similar to the British version in combining sweetness with sharpness. We had mixed tapas at the next place and then went to a seafood specialist for some excellent calamari and squid rellenos, stuffed with seafood, vegetables and some cheese. We finished our night with some champagne sorbet, concocted with champagne in a blender and who knows what else, but it was truly delicious."
Al, since you always look on the bright side of things, remember that the silver lining of all these late night debaucheries is that cafes are open at the crack of dawn to serve the revelers who are just leaving the disco. Having breakfast surrounded by inebriated young people is always such a fun way to start the day!Yup, you just got to go there! Heavenly way to spend the evening. Sunday shouldn't be too bad but Saturdays can be a bit lively. We stayed in a hostal with an albergue room. It had the no 10pm curfew (though we were in bed around that time anyway). It was a Saturday and there were young Spanish on boozy week-enders making noise in the other rooms/corridors all night. There was even a security guy walking around calming them down! At my morning ablution I saw some who were still drinking and being guided back to their rooms by the guard. Oh well, another morning walking tired.But having said that I did like Logrono.
8 will be safe. People won't even be out looking for dinner yet. You might find some tapas but most places won't yet be open for dinner.We will be starting our Camino by taking the train from Barcelona to Logrono on a Sunday evening.
