Yesterday ( Monday) as we arrived at out Albergue Turistica Salceda in Salceda , Galicia, Spain , I had to veer off the Camino 200 meters and I was doubtful of where I was headed. I book a place to stay everyday when I arrive at my quarters for that night . Sometimes they are cots in dormitories and every now and then it's a real surprise ..... sometimes amazing and others ..... well ... not so much . Yesterday was a real wonderful surprise . The accommodations were quaint and the hosts , Santiago and Lucilla , greeted us like family. I had no idea what was to come....... after resting and bathing and gathering clothes for the wash we sat out on the porch letting our hair dry in the warm sun. Dinner was at 6:30 . I took a chance , I don't know why, and I ordered a shiskabob , bobby ordered the chicken and the guy next to me ordered the fish in the photo( bacalao). I have only eaten meat 3 times in 4 weeks since I have arrived in Spain because it's awful most places . I was kind of praying.
Oh my goodness... butter ... it was so unbelievably fantastic .... on one end was half an apple and throughout were huge mushrooms and green peppers...... I was so happy ..... and hungry... my appetite woke up for the first time since I landed here! Lol This guy is a genius with food.
When the people next to us got the Bacalao I asked if I could photograph it . He took photos also.
When he came out to check on us we discovered he had received 2 Michelin stars .... what???? Out in the middle of the country in ,what is more than likely, a very hip joint in the summer from the looks of the pool and waterfall, we had the best time.
These people are lovely . If you ever find yourself in Spain ..... Albergue Turistica Salceda is where you must stay!!!!!
