Oh my goodness! I wonder if it's the place I was in last fall. Came out of a "fast-food joint" that had little pictures of things I could get at home, and started looking for something a bit more to my liking. Wait - what's that smell? nose up - garlic? turn around. sniff. sniff. there it is. but - I'm a lone woman, and was (before the camino) a bit shy. and no backpacks in there. and my spanish su - eh, is awful. nevermind. the wonderful lady behind the bar told me what everything was (in slow, precise Spanish), and I selected - ahem - five items. and I'll have whatever that gentleman (a local) is drinking. She gestured that I should sit at a table, and soon enough brought my FOUR PLATES of pin(ch)(tx)os (they are quite sizeable!) - with a lovely little smile -- and a more delicate wine than the gentleman had. Well, now, that was the best meal I had on the Camino! And I was stuffed! I'm going back there in September!! If you happen to see me on the Calle Mayor in Najera around the 19th, 20th Sept (give or take a few days on either side - I have no schedule), please feel free to join me! Short white hair, glasses, and aqua pack with Forum and American Pilgrims patches.In a restaurant in Calle Mayor, in Najera, we (I was with a fellow pilgrim) were told that it was too late for "menú del día", but they had "pintxos". We were dubitative, because they did not seem great, until another customer, a local who was sippping slowly his pacharán, told us, "Folks, forget it, just go the other side of the street". It was Bar Naxara, Calle Mayor 58, very good, specially the fish, and not expensive. I expect our good advisor survived the murderous stare of the other bar's owner...
Yes Allan, you are right, it's Burgos. Sorry!Burgos
