The Fundación Logroño Turismo has edited new city maps and a guide of 15 urban routes, Paseos por Logroño, providing basic information about accessibility for PRM in these routes.

Logroño is fully worthy of its status as the capital of the Rioja culture. This is a city rich in history and traditions which have been preserved since the Middle Ages. The Pilgrim's Route to Santiago de Compostela made this one of the most important towns on the route, leaving an interesting monumental legacy closely linked to the traditional passing of the pilgrims.

The city is the seat of the Designation of Origin Control Board, which plays a key part in the complex machinery of the wine sector in the region. Logroño's strategic geographic situation makes it the ideal place for visiting this world-famous wine region.

New city maps and the Routes Guide (named "Paseos por Logroño") edited by the Fundación Logroño Turismo are being distributed at the Oficina de Turismo de las Escuelas Trevijano as well as at the city hotels . Basic information for PRM is provided about each one of the 15 "paseos" in the city, from which "Accessible Logroño" is fully accessible for wheelchair users.

The Logroño Sin Barreras organization has completed and launched in 2007 an accessibility guide-book featuring facilities in over 518 public and private buildings in the city, which, in addition to the printed version, is available on their website.

The texts in the guide are written just in Spanish, but icons might be very helpful for those visiting the city (info about facilities for deaf and/or visually impaired people is provided by icons, too).
