Logro�o (original) (raw)

Logroño (2002 pop. 136,841) is a city in northern Spain, on the Ebro River. It is the capital of the autonomous community of La Rioja.

Logroño has long been the capital of this region, formerly known as the province of Logroño.

It is a centre for processing the Rioja wine for which the area is noted, and has also produced wood, metal, and textile products.

Logroño was disputed between the kings of Navarre and the kings of Castile starting in the 10th century; the region was annexed to Castile in 1173.

Alfonso VI of Castile granted Logroño a charter that served as a model for other Spanish cities.
