Portales Street and the Market Square are the symbol of a city with an enormous commercial tradition – it was once known as calle de la Herventía (boiling place).
Today, Portales Street – renamed after the arcades built in the 19th century – offers an attractive pedestrian walkway between traditional and modern shops, cafés and restaurants. The
historic commercial character of the city is confirmed by the name of some of the streets of the Old Town, “carnicerias”(butchers), “caballerias” (horses), “herrerias” (ironworks) and “ollerias” (pottery).

San Bartolomé Church is the oldest in Logroño. Built with ashlar stone and Roman and gotic architecture from 12th Century this is a stunning building.  It’s part of the Camino de Santiago. To be especially highlighted is the carefully carved Gothic doorway. Its Tower was part of the city’s defensive system, part of the walls that were extended as the town centre grew. Thus, the first two sections of the tower are of ashlar like the Church and the wall, and the next two are of stone decorated with small Mozarabic tiles.
