Charlie: In Spain they have an evening stroll called the paseo. Italy has something similar. Everyone is out on the streets for a couple of hours around sunset.
Logroño had a wonderful one last night. It lasted for three hours and the streets were full of thousands of people. All the outdoor tables were full of people drinking, eating and smoking. It includes all ages, lots of baby carriages, small children, teenagers, young adults, families, and older people. Everyone mixes.
Later on, around 9, we walked down the streets known for pinxos (tapas) bars. The streets were packed with people. Someone waved to us as we walked by and it turned out to be the desk clerk at the hotel we stayed at in Viana, the town we were in before this. Viana is only 10 km outside of Logroño so she might live here and commute up there. It is only a 15 minute bus ride.
Viana is a cute little town but not much night life for a young person.
There do not seem to be many tourists in Logroño. We like towns like this where we can see how the people live.
