Cafetería de “pueblo” muy agradable. Nuestros hijos han estado haciendo un campus en la localidad y todos los días tomábamos café en este lugar. El trato por parte del dueño siempre ha sido muy muy bueno, pero hay que destacar que el café está muy rico. Hemos estado como en casa.

We stopped here for dinner on the Camino. Very helpful host able to deal with our dietary needs by making us some salads and some tasty bread. I may be wrong, but I think they stay open some evenings and offer a simple pilgrim menu (we are at 19:00). We were grateful to be fed!

Bien servido. Cafetería muy limpia, agradable con la terraza exterior, pero dentro también apetecía. Un plus para el trato, por hacer salido a despedirme y desearme Buen Camino. Sin duda, un "chupinazo" de energía para seguir rumbo a Bilbao. Gracias
