Logrono

Logrono, Spain is in the northern portion of Spain located on the Ebro River. It is the capital city of the La Rioja region. It is the center of trade for Rioja wine, which is primarily what the area is known for, and the city also produces wood, metal, and textile products.

It is much less touristy than many of the larger cities in Spain, but it is a fairly populated city with almost 200,000 inhabitants. It gained some popularity for its recent role in HBO's True Blood. Logrono is a beautiful, small, historic city that is well worth a visit

Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik, the "Pearl of the Adriatic", is a beautiful walled city in southern Croatia that sits on the edge of the Adriatic Sea. It's a small city, with only about 40,000 residents, but it's become one of the most significant tourist destinations in the Mediterranean. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The city was historically built on maritime trade, which is not surprising given its location near major Italian and Greek ports such as Venice, Bari, Corfu, and Trieste. It was a center of language and literature and was the home of many important poets, playwrights, painters, and scientists during the 15th and 16th centuries. Today its economy is dependent on tourism and it is one of the most popular destinations in the region. People visit the city for its impressive history, beautiful setting, great weather, and interesting architecture.
