Champiñones de la calle Laurel, pincho estrella de Logroño.
Faltan las pochas a la riojana.
Chuletillas al sarmiento en una bodega de Haro con un buen crianza 🍷
Los caparrones de Anguiano, qué ricos.
La calle Laurel un viernes, mejor ruta de pinchos de España.
Las peras al vino de postre, típicas.
Patatas a la riojana con chorizo, plato de cuchara perfecto.
