Had such a memorable evening meal at the restaurant adjacent to our hotel that I had to add to today’s post. By now we are quite accustomed to our evening ‘Pilgrims Meal’ – which typically consists of three courses, includes wine, and is priced around 12 – 14 euros. After awhile they began all tasting the same. Tonight was different, however. Not only were many of the choices unique and delicious, the service was extraordinary – capped off by a ceremonial clothing of Steve ‘Estaben’, in what appeared to be some sort of traditional middle ages Santiago attire, probably signifying wealth and power – or perhaps just a bath robe and fancy shower hat – who knows. To top off the evening, they served a table top brew, with mucho alcohol and some sort of beans, that we later learned sold for 40 euros – if ordered, but for us was given and performed gratis. Wonderful and unexpected ending to our day!
A lifetime experience
