Where Should I go: Pamukkale or Logrono?

Pamukkale

Pamukkale is in southeastern Aegean Turkey and is historically a spa town that has been in existence since the 2nd century BC. It is popular with tourists for its beautiful hot springs and travertines, or pools that are coated in a very unique calcium covering. The area is very rich in mineral content and the water, which has been flowing for thousands of years, has deposited calcium in each pool. This unique whiteness creates an unworldly beauty that draws visitors from around the world. If you're visiting during the summer months when the sun is out in full force, don't forget the sunscreen, as the white reflects the light and you can end up with a sunburn quite quickly. You'll also want to make sure you have sunglasses available because the glare can be quite extreme.

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.
