Food Finds

Until yesterday, the food we had eaten was fine, but nothing to write home about. The 2 pilgrim meals at the Albergues have been better than I had expected, but not too exciting. Last night we had pintxos (tapas) at an outdoor bar. We were hungry around 5 for something to eat but the kitchen was closed until 7. I decided to have a delicious minty mojito while I waited and Julia had a Baileys while we munched on the only offering available from the kitchen at the moment, a moist piece of carrot cake. A fellow pilgrim from Seattle joined our table with a glass of wine. Around 7 we ordered some local chorizo, potatoes with a spicy red sauce and creme fraiche and brushetta with boucheron goat cheese and sundried tomatoes. Every bite was fabulous! Today for a late lunch,  I had a wonderful spinach salad with percorino cheese and bacon, washed down by a cold San Miguel beer on tap. This was followed by an incredible 30 minute foot and leg massage by a pilgrim who was working his way on the Camino by doing foot massages for a donation. A perfect way to finish off my afternoon!
