Paseo del Espolón
Paseo del Príncipe de Vergara (El Espolón)
A central park along the southern edge of the old town, lined with plane trees. Beneath the equestrian statue of General Espartero, locals gather to socialise.
The Paseo del Espolón, officially named Paseo del Príncipe de Vergara, is Logroño's city living room. A bronze equestrian statue of General Espartero stands at its centre, surrounded by clipped plane trees, fountains and a bandstand. Around 21 September, during the San Mateo Festival, a grape-stomping ceremony takes place here, in which the first must is offered to the Virgin Mary. During the festival, markets and performances fill the park. Admission is free, and the park is open all day. It links the old town with the new shopping street.
