My Australian meal cycle of relatively earlier meal times never quite got into a genuine Spanish rhythm to properly enjoy the delights of the cuisine.

The Spaniards don't start socializing before late at night. As pilgrims we were more concerned of getting an "early" meal (menu del peregrino), which often wasn't served before 7 pm. Tapa hour can be quite a bit later!Anniesantiago said:
In Santiago, the old town and not far from the pilgrims' office, there are super tapa bars, one next to the other. Which means standing shoulder to shoulder at certain days and times, but we don't have to start walking early the next morning!! :lol:
Whatever. Any large town has it's quarters for this type of "meal", and all you have to do is look for the crowd: that's where it must be good.
I found the best in Sevilla, but that's way off the Camino Francés.
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!

True that you have to wait till late in the evening before the tapas / socialising starts. Therefore I chose a hostal in Logrono in order to stay out later than ten pm.
In Leon...

Right across the albergue of the convent in the city centre. Too expensive tapas but their wines by the glass are excellent!!

- Many, various, and continuing.
In Leon, the entire Barrio Humedo (the old town all around the convent hostal) is famous for its tapas. Order a glass of wine and you get something for free with it... unless they tag you as a gullible stranger, in which case you might have to question your lack of goodies when everyone else is feasting. Tell em you want what the other guys are having, or you might just get a dish of nuts (sometimes it´s assumed the pilgrims won´t eat sweetbreads or pork belly or deviled eggs.) Order a draft beer at the Pizzeria La Competencia and you get a free slice alongside!
At El Bicho in St. Martin Square, they have some of the best morcilla tapas this side of San Juan de Ortega.
But the best tapas anyplace are at the Bar Deportivo in Sahagun, our wonderful local dive where Julio serves up superb tapas and a big smile with every drink.

pintxos i Pamplona

Start with some award-winning pintxos at the bar: tempura mushrooms and red piquillo pepper carpaccio. The restaurant next door serves amazingly complex-looking dishes, including colourful, gelatinised vegetables perfectly cubed and stacked to look like a Rubik’s cube. ¨¨¨¨

When I get to Santiago I always seem to find myself in O Bispo, great tapas, a really big menu, even more options not on the menu- you have to be with someone who knows what to ask for, really busy but fun and colourful.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

right back by Roncesvalles a great restaurant is
TXIKIPOLIT in Burguete. I've eaten there often - with friends walking and cycling, on my honeymoon and, of course, whilst on the Camino.
Calle San Nicolás nº 52

Two brilliant destinations in themselves. Places I truly love.

Anne , really don't have any idea? A wild guess might be : olive oil of course of some kind and a mix of some herbs?
