[QUOTE="Sitkapilgrim, post: 1085606, member: 40203"] I was #1 three weeks ago for the free lunch at the Parador. It was my fourth time, 2 in the old days in the room between the garage entrance and the kitchen, and two in the real Parador restaurant. There were only six of us at the 10 person table; not many pilgrims that morning at the Pilgrim Office and only the Spaniard and I had intentionally arrived early in the hopes of getting a ticket to lunch. The menu is set and has not changed since pre-pandemic times: red wine,white wine, empanadas, Galician soup, meat/French fries/Galician egg-cheese-“pudding”, and tarta de Santiago. No coffee. The staff were kind…..and hurried us out when we were done, to turn our part of the restaurant into a more respectable area. For me, it was an opportunity to make our Korean, Spanish, Italian, Finnish and U.S. group of pilgrims, with no common language, a coherent group for the hour. For the Spaniard, it was his 34th Compostela; for the Korean and Finn, their first. The Italian had walked from Lucca in Italy. After my solitary caminos it was very nice to have a communal meal in a real restaurant. None of us, including the Spaniard, could figure out what the egg-cheese-polenta like pudding was, but it was good. The Spaniard used the word pudding, but it was part of the meat and potatoes course. [/QUOTE]
