Kevin and I will start the day with a stop at the winemakers 'Bodega Irache', where a free-flowing wine fountain welcomes thirsty pilgrims. you can drink all you want, but it is not allowed to bring wine with you from there.

The ride takes you through vineyards and past castles before crossing the great Puente de Piedra into Logrono, a bustling town with an interesting history, architectural jewels, cafes and music.  Logrono's old town is quite small but the little Calle's are filled with great tapas bars which are washed down with the excellent local Riojan wine.

Logrono is famous for San Mateo Festival. The city celebrates, every year at the beginning of fall, the vintage of Rioja grapes' fiesta. On the festival's day, the city streets are filled with celebrators.
