Etymology

Logroño probably comes from old local words that described a town 'by the river' or at a river crossing. A helpful way to remember it is that Logroño is the riverside capital of La Rioja and a traditional stop for pilgrims and wine travellers, so the name points to its place on the Ebro River.
