Awesome food, awesome value. Polar Toasts are delicious and huge! Worth the short detour for a Camino lunch stop :)

Perfect. After hours walking, an amazing steak, cold beer and an ice cream. Awesome meal. And the best part of the day was yet to come, a naked men in the shower. Unforgettable day- good food and comedy for days
