We are spending the night in a tiny town named La Arena. The word arena means sand in Spanish and, no surprise, there is a large sandy beach here that is bigger than the non-beach part of the town.
We had picked out a place for lunch (the only place in town that offered more than tapas) and turned out to be just downstairs from our little apartment (the only place we could find to stay in town). They had a great menu del día.
What would you choose?
Liked your first course and dessert choices, but pretty sure I would have picked a different main course.
What would you have chosen, Henry? I’d like to know!
Probably the pollo, maybe the gallo. I’m fond of fish, but not hake — maybe I’ve never it prepared well,
Not sure which of your two appetizers I would have chosen — would be a spur of the moment decision (am I cold, hot, what are others having [does it look good]). Same for the dessert.
I’ve decided I’m not crazy about hake either. We’ve had dorado (mahi mahi) (did I spell that right?) and lubina (sea bass) and I liked those more.
Nice kunch. Good thing you’re walking a lot to burn off all those calories.
Yes, so hard not to overeat!! I was pretty amazed that last year I only gained about 3 pounds on the 5-week camino and then lost it within days after getting home. (Sure hope the same thing happens this year.) You are right, must be all that walking.
I would have gone with the pollo a la cerveza!
