In the heart of Logroño
Calle Laurel is next to San Blas Market – Plaza de Abastos and it runs parallel to Bretón de los Herreros Street, where the old walls of Logroño stood until they were demolished in 1862.
In those years it was decided to rebuild the adjoining houses, giving rise to what is now Calle Laurel.
