Information
Logroño, capital of La Rioja, combines history, culture and wine. Enjoy its old town, wineries and beautiful natural landscapes along the banks of the Ebro.
Today you will leave the region of Navarra to enter La Rioja, internationally known for its rich wines. You have 49 km ahead of you cycling along quiet tracks surrounded by fields and some more complicated sections, especially the 10 km that separate the towns of Torres del Rio de Viana. The first stop of the day will be the Wine Fountain of Iratxe, a landmark on this Jacobean route. From Azqueta the road gets steeper and narrower, so don’t hesitate to get off the bike if you need to. And as every effort has its reward, you will reach another of the most iconic fountains of the route, the Fuente de los Moros. After arriving at Los Arcos, the path runs along a well-surfaced track to Torres del Río, where the most complicated section of the day begins. Continuous ups and downs and sudden changes of terrain make it a real ordeal. Patience and courage. From Viana, there are only a few kilometres left to reach the longed-for finish line. The environment becomes much more industrial, so be extra cautious and watch out for traffic. Once in Logroño, you will have all the services you need to rest and enjoy the attractions of this exciting city.
