In the heart of La Rioja, as June bursts into full bloom, the city of Logroño is transformed by history, devotion, and a deep sense of identity. Every 11th of June the city honors its patron, San Bernabé, with a celebration that blends tradition and elegance.
San Bernabé is more than a saint. He is a symbol of resilience and faith. In 1521, the people of Logroño famously withstood a French siege by surviving on fish from the Ebro River, bread, and local wine. Today, these same flavors take center stage in a sensorial journey through time.
Bread, fish, and wine… 🍞🐟🍷 Three simple elements that speak of survival and joy found in life’s essentials. This tradition is served with delight, like a whisper from the past that lingers on the palate.
Decorated streets, historical reenactments, and a vibrant city filled with pride invite visitors to walk along its ancient walls, where the Rioja spirit still beats strong with passion for its land and its freedom.
At Amelí Rioja Tours, we invite you to experience San Bernabé not just as a local festivity, but as an intimate and immersive cultural experience, where every corner of Logroño pulses with history, wine, and soul.
Come, feel and savor. Because in La Rioja, even history is best sipped slowly. More Information
