Logroño is the capital of La Rioja, the second smallest of the 17 autonomous communities that make up Spain. Its name probably comes from the Celtiberian gronio, meaning 'ford'.

Besides being the capital of a province famous for its wines, Logroño is also one of Spain's tapas capitals – there are scores of tapas bars in the old town, many of them located in and around Calle del Laurel.
