Laguardia
We drove to Laguardia, a picturesque hill town, about 30 kilomenters from Logroño. Here is where we parked. You can see the Rioja wine vines covering the valley.
I think this translates to something like "Peace to those who come, health to those who stay, happiness to those who move on"
Strangest "Irish Tavern" we've found so far. Yes, thay had no Guinness!
The famous clock.
Lots of tourists here
A stork?
Big people
Big people before the party
Big people the next morning
Stork running from the bulls
Several tables were set in a similar fashion, waiting for the lunch crowd.
From the bell tower of the cathedral
The bell!
The skyline of Laguardia

We were up there

A table full of footwear
a table full of bags
A picture is worth a thousand words...

We almost went on a tour here
We would have but the only English-speaking tour guide didn't show up
What more does one need?
Nice colors
Laguardia is a walled city and much of the wall still exists
Another handy door knocker
Lorri exploring another side street
And another side street
This is a nice little park along the city wall
This is Lorri modeling her new purse she got for the trip. It has clip locks for the zippers, a steel reinforced shoulder strap and lining that prevents remote identity theft! It worked!
Great views from up here
"Hurry up! It's lunchtime!"
We didn't have lunch here
We had lunch here and it was great.
Here's the menu. Sorry I have no food photos. Hey look, Water, bread and wine were included! I had the chuleta de vaca, the cow chop, literally. It was a tasty beef steak. I think. I know it was tasty.
Another view as we headed back to the car.
Adios, Laguardia! What a fun little town!
