Food is ever-present in the camino walker’s mind. When to eat, what to eat, where to eat can be questions posed daily. Should the day end in Logroño, consider it your good gastronomic fortune. It is here, in the provincial capital of La Rioja, that the pilgrim can sample all the wonders of the tapas/pintxos universe on one narrow street in the casco antiguo. Head to Calle Laurel, where you will discover bars and restaurants lining the pavement, tempting the hungry visitor with great displays of small, but delectable morsels. Some offer a wide variety of tapas/pintxos, while others specialize in just one finely tuned savory bite. And to accompany all those tasty treats, the wines of La Rioja offer a rainbow of colors and flavours. When the weekend clock strikes 10:00 p.m., it will be standing room only on Laurel, only adding to the excitement in the barrio. But, don’t go looking for pachyderms here. The locals refer to Calle Laurel as «la senda de los elefantes» or pathway of the elephants. The city inhabitants say a small drink at all the sixty bars could leave you walking out with a trunk and on all four legs, just like the elephant.
