It took me to get to Pamplona on Camino to order one (I was 'behaving' for about a week since leaving home and drank only water) and that was the Galicia one.
I stayed with the brew until bunch of other Pilgrims introduced me to Cerveza Lemon (and later on I found out that aka Radler) in Los Arcos and switched to that for the duration (resorting to Estrella Galicia if that was not readily available)
