BODEGAS OLARRA

San Bernabé 2011

Since 2008, Logroñeses and tourists are celebrating this feast around the wall of Revellín.
These representations evoke a siege attack suffered by Franco-Navarrese troops which reflects the battle lived in the city gates.
For the occasion, many logroñeses get dress with the clothes of this historical period, there is a Renaissance market and a camp where you can see the battle between Castilian and franconavarras troops.
