Getting to LogroñO
This is the story of our trip to Logroño for NSSpain. Getting there was awesome. We flew to Bilbao then took a bus to Logroño and got to see the Spanish countryside and mountains.
We packed lots of cameras and lots of film, including a Polaroid with film from the Impossible Project. Also brought a tripod that I never got around to actually using. After arriving, we were joined by lots of friends and colleagues and the next morning we headed to the hackathon.
Riojaforum
Here’s the location of the conference, from the outside. It was an amazing building and the days following the conference had the San Mateo festival, which was awesome. There were fireworks at this building every night.
Architecture
The city had an interesting mix of architecture. There was the new with the old, the contemporary and the modern.
Here’s a train station in the city – very, very cool architecture.
Environment
The surrounding environment was beautiful. Just stunning.
Here’s the area around the house we rented. We’ve got some shots of the backyard, the front yard, and a nearby fountain.

Some of my favourite moments from the trip were walking around the city and seeing some awesome music and energy from the crowds. Really awesome stuff.
Here’re some more shots of the city and the energy in the crowds.
Some Surrealism
I saw this guy and something struck me about. So sad, and yet holding a collection of helium-filled balloons.
I don’t even know what this is, and you don’t want to see where the kids come out.
These looked so delicious I just couldn’t help but get a photo.
Into the Night
Love the city during the day, and loved it at night. Just awesome.
Going out with friends
Had an amazing time with our friends out and about. Lots of great wine and amazing food.
Wine-Tasting
The conference organized a wine-tasting for us and it was an amazing time.
The Next Day
Again, such an amazing city.
Went for a walk across the river.
Until Next Year
