The market occupies a building built in 1927 by the architect Fermín Álamo. Its façade is a succession of brick arches and friezes representing plant themes. Until 1837 there was a church dedicated to Saint Blaise on this site. After its destruction, an open-air market was held here, which was then called the Plaza de la Verdura (Vegetable Square). Nowadays it has many stalls selling fresh produce.

It is impossible to leave Santo Domingo de la Calzada without having tasted the ahorcaditos (literally, "little hanged men"), whose name refers to the miracle of the hanged man. This pastry in the shape of a scallop shell is made from puff pastry and filled with almond cream. It is said that the recipe was invented in this traditional establishment. Note that the shop is also a specialist in artisanal ice cream, and has been for four generations! No less than 25 flavours can be found in the shop window.

A pastry shop, confectionery and tea room all in one, Iturbe is a great Logroño classic. Since the sixties, this family-run establishment has been treating the town's inhabitants to chocolates, turrón, biscuits, cakes and pastries. A good address for breakfast, for example, or simply for the pleasure of a coffee con leche in a place that has remained very authentic. The house has another address in the modern part of town (Calle Poeta Prudencio, 4). A charming old-fashioned place for a sweet break!
