Feeling fortunate to have found this spot to refuel with some carbs! This area doesn’t offer many options for a quick snack, so it was a pleasant surprise. Wonderful people here, and a big shoutout for the delicious brownie—much appreciated!

This was a great stop off the Camino! I got off the trail a bit and had a long day of walking. I was lucky to find this place to energize me to keep going. The bifana and little dessert were both delicious. They were super friendly and helpful :)

That was a really nice stop on the camino way. I have a coffee with cinnamon for only 0,8€ and I also get a banana from the owner. He was super friendly.

This place saved us when everywhere else was closed on the trail during a hot, hot day. Very thankful for the owner for making delicious sandwiches for our family!
