    Great Places to eat on the CF

    Albergue de peregrinos Ave Fenix in Villafranca bel berzoi has good menu.... and breakfast. The ambience is lovely too and the hospitalerios are very kind. I thought it was a lovely touch for all pilgrims to hold hands and say grace before meal... The caldo gallego was yummy!
