Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is the church that a lot of the pilgrims start out from on the "Santiago Walk".The church is beautiful inside and out. Close to the church is the pilgrims fountain where they stop for water and rest on their journey. A close friend went on this journey while we were in Logrono Spain in March of this year. She walked 25 miles, and had quite an adventure.

This church is dedicated to St. James, the patron saint of Spain. People walking the Way of St. James always stop in this church to pray. The equestrian statue of St. James on the main facade is quite impressive. Inside the church, it is quite simple, but the main altarpiece is also impressive.

We walked to the church. Its easy to find it, within walking distance from the center of Logroño.
Nice old church, situated in the middle of a square. Small shops surround the square as well.

Beautiful historic and worth a visit. plus free to visit. All the attractions (cathedrals and churches) are near each other, so worth stopping in all the churches in this beautiful tourist friendly town.

Interesting Plaza to the exterior right of the main door, with huge dice , kind of modern art meets old world.
There is also a painting in the back of this Church linking the then young Escriva to the town (from memory he as here from 1915-25).

The church of Santiago el Real in Logroño has the oldest history of all its churches. It dates back to when
Santiago supposedly preached in this area and a disciple built a humble temple in his honor in the spot where the current church is located. The original church was destroyed completely in a fire and was rebuilt in the 1500s. The existing structure was too ornate for my taste so did not like it much. Since I was doing the Camino, it was only proper that I visit a church dedicated to Santiago. The statue of Santiago Matamoros in the facade of the church is quite impressive and draws your interest to have a look at its interior. There is also one of him as a pilgrim in the gold leafed "retablo" behind the altar. Once inside, I lost interest not only because it was not my style (mostly Renaissance) but it held no "warmth" that invited me to stay and spend some quiet moments.
There is an interesting structure outside that houses a fountain which I assume pilgrims used or possibly use still to this day for a drink of water.
After seeing the magnificent Romanesque church of the Holy Sepulcher at Torres del Rio and the charming church at Los Arcos where several architectural styles harmoniously coexist, I left this church feeling underwhelmed.
I was grateful however that none of the churches in Logroño requieres an entrance fee although there are donation boxes for a voluntary contribution scattered around the churches. As you go west to Santiago, there are many churches that require entrance fees unless you are there in time for a mass. It's a pity that peregrinos have to pay to enter a church. Most of us walk the Camino not as tourists but as individuals in search of answers to Life questions.

This 16th. c. church in the transitional style between Gothic and Renaissance has an immense Gothic vault over a unified space. The Camino de Santiago passes just outside the church, so it is of course a compulsory stop for any pilgrim. It is definitely worth a visit, and it doesn´t take long.

This church dates back to the early 16th century and was one of the sopping points for pilgrims heading east to Santiago de Compostela. It is basic but impressive outside but quite interesting and elaborate inside.

I enjoyed viewing this place but it was not opened during my visit. Still it was a nice place to photograph and I enjoyed the architecture.
