Hi guys just wanted to confirm something
3 years ago stopped at San Juan and had a great local meal
This Year stayed at Ages and was informed that they could not get a decent meal at San Juan
Is that true?
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

I, too, often ate in San Juan Ortega at the simple Bar Marcela and had good hearty food. Unfortunately the Bar Marcela which is located after the monastery complex could be quickly walked past by unobservant hurrying pilgrims. The bar is part of a local casa rural complex ; here is their web http://sanjuandeortega.com/

Hi Scott,
7 of us had dinner at the bar in San Juan a couple of nights ago and the food was delicious.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
... and if you read "The Great Westward Walk," you'll see the locals gather round the finest morcilla at a little bar in Quintanilla, a four-house town near Cardenuela de Riopico (a little off the marked camino after Sto. Domingo.)

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
...on a freezing cold and rainy day, the bar warm and steamy, at San Juan. Unforgettable. I agree, best morcilla.
