On stage 8 of the classic Way of St. James, you start in the morning in Logroño and come straight to this beautiful place at the beginning of the stage: ducks swim on the reservoir and squirrels greet visitors. A truly magical place.

Great park for the people of Logroño. Beautifully laid out with a lake and lots of playgrounds. A recreational oasis not far from the city with lots of shade.
