Unfortunately padron peppers he explained were not in season (only from May to Oct) so I didn’t get to try them. Wanting something light after a day on the Camino I went for a Salad and some toast with a nice dry glass of local white recommended to me. The place filled up as the evening grew with many locals always a good sign.

The waitress is super multilingual and extremely friendly. The servings are big, the prices really nice, e.g. with the 350 ml Coke comes a little plate with cheese and bread with jamon, all for 2€.

Definitely worth a visit during the Camino and try the pimientos read more Definitely worth a visit during the Camino and try the pimientos

Huge servings of Spaghetti Bolognaise, Cake and Wine included or a Hamburger for a few euros. We really, really enjoyed a cold beer after our 20km walk and just sat and took in the view right by the church. it is also located close to the convent where you can take your pilgrim's passport and collect your certificate Pedtonia (large building on other side of the river about a 3 minute walk away not the cathedral). This was a good place to stop.
