We just had two amazing and unexpected experiences.
In Carrion de Los Condes we went to the camino store...forget the name!! Calzado de Camino or something like that. Anyways, the little old man did the best job getting past the language barrier, made it clear he knew what the problem was, that he was an expert, and sold my wife on some high quality hiking sandals to arrest a toe problem that was developing. He was right and he did a great job. Very knowledgeable!!
The 2nd great experience was in Moratinos at El Castillo De Moratinos, a little bar/restaurant in an old wine cave. For a town of, apparently, 25 people, this place was amazing. The one brother who was cooking took *incredible* pride in his creations and really cared. I have found this to be uncommon along the camino frances. Amazing value, amazing food, great attitude.....all good.
