Most restaurants have a menu del dia every day. On weekends it is usually a little fancier, and more expensive. We picked a place about 100 feet from our hotel that looked good. It was more than good. It was easily the best lunch this trip.
We went fairly early but when we got there the outside area was packed. The server was a little hesitant when we asked about lunch and consulted another person and then seated us at what we think was the last unreserved table they had. Lucky!
Boy, you pilgrims sure do eat well. Sounds great!
This lunch has to be one of the great travel bargains of all time!
Actually, I’m continually amazed at both the inventiveness, quality, and variety of the menus. Hooray for locally owned restaurants.
This lunch was a bargain even by Spanish standards. We have had a few other weekend menus and they were all in the 35-45€ range, and not as good as this one. Spain is definitely inexpensive.
The local factor is a big reason we like Spain so much. Not as many chains as in the US.
Yes it was amazing to get that meal for that price in this small town. And also you’ve got to consider that the price included taxes and tip. Of course you also have to consider the value of the dollar now. One euro costs $1.17. It’s gone up about 10 cents since the Iraq war started.
But that only affects Americans. The Eurozone pilgrims and even the British won’t feel the “inflation.”
this food looks really yummy
