Beautiful but not looking forward to repeating that narrow, rocky path right after the bridge. I almost had a panic attack in 2013 and will passing there again in September .
Yes, it's called Casa Camino, and there is apparently a "riotous cafe, Bar Pepe, which does food of varying quality." I am reading this out of the Gerald Kelly guide book which arrived today (brought from the forum store, thanks Ivar). It is great to have an uptodate guide book with good maps... Even if I do need to dig out my glasses to read it. Makes me itchy to go back and start at Seville all over again!And if someone decides to stay in Riego, I understand that two young women (English and Italian I believe) have recently started a new albergue. This is great news as the town could use a boost.

Actually it had a similar review 9 years ago when we did this route, it as one of the reasons we bypassed it...I remember Bar Pepe being the dingiest, most unwelcoming place I have ever entered and the facilities were so dire that I walked cross-legged for the next umpteen kms rather than use them. But that was just a point in time, it may have improved in the last couple of years!
The man who runs the cafe is quite rude. He screamed at us when we told him we were staying at Casa Camino.Yes, it's called Casa Camino, and there is apparently a "riotous cafe, Bar Pepe, which does food of varying quality."
