[QUOTE="darcelona, post: 1072846, member: 99049"] Hi Robo, I wish I had asked this question before walking the VDLP this year! I did have some great food but quite a few misses too. Here's a few of my highlights foodwise: [LIST] [*]El Ricón de la Barbera in Castilblanco de los Arroyos: I think this place is responsible for setting my expectations to be high for the camino. The chicharrónes de Cádiz were a real highlight. Gotta wait til 8 before they open though. [*]Parochial Albergue in Monasterio: not a restaurant but by far the best equipped and stocked albergue kitchen I encountered. I had the albergue to myself and cooked myself a little feast. Nice sunny balcony with great view too. [*]Nameless churreria in Los Santos de Maimona: this unassuming little kiosk with no signage was an unexpected and absolute godsend. I started out very early from Zafra on a Sunday morning. I hadn't picked up any snacks the night before thinking Zafra was big enough that I would find something open in the morning. Nothing was open. I walked up and over the little hill (spectacular sunrise) into Los Santos de Maimona hoping to find something there, but nothing was open. Then I spied this kiosk that had its window open. I walked over and peeked inside and there was a woman sitting there. She made me fresh churros and chocolate and cafe con leche and a bag of churros to go and it was 3 Euro!! I felt like I had experienced a miracle. The kiosk is on a tiny little plaza at the intersection of Calle Maria Gordillo and Calle Valmoreno: [URL]https://goo.gl/maps/bNffPikedRAyougQA[/URL] [*]Albergue Turístico La Almazara: I didn't eat lunch here because I was still full from churros but I had a beer and a yummy pastel de nata (Portugues owner :)). I mention this place because if I were to do it all over again, I would plan to spend a night here. [*]La Casa del Sol in Caceres: I had an excellent meal in this restaurant in the old city. The secreto iberico was beautiful. Caceres is full of great restaurants though so you probably can't go wrong wherever you try. [*]Musicarte in Miranda de Azan: Perfect little lunch spot so rare on the VDLP. Our trio had spent a frigid night in the municipal albergue in Pedrosilla de los Aires and were eager to get into Salamanca. We very nearly kept our heads down and ploughed on but the sensible one in our group successfully swayed us to take a break. My first bocadillo de calamares and I never had one better afterwards...warm light and delicious. Also, it is a vermuteria with great selection if you are vermouth fan. It is worth walk the couple hundred meters off the route to stop in here. [*]Vinodiario in Salamanca: as a foodie you will appreciate the excellent menu and special wine selection. They know their stuff and are well connected with many boutique wineries in Spain. A little outside the central area but worth the visit. I had a rest day in Salamanca and ate here twice. [*]Bread: unfortunately it is not the greatest in southern Spain in my opinion and not like the great bread you get in Galicia. Maybe I was just unlucky though. [*]Crushed red chili flakes: this was the one thing I wish I brought with me. I searched grocery stores but couldn't find it in Spain. Next time. [/LIST] Hope you have great VDLP experience. I loved it. I walked in March as well and had great weather. Buen Camino [/QUOTE]
