Another pleasant walk! Nothing much to comment on.
El Burgo Ranero is a very nothing town. The hostals were all too pricey so we had to stay in an albergue again. Cold showers. Nice. Luckily it was warm that day.
We stumbled across a restaurant for lunch away from where all the other bars and restaurants were. It was just down from the church, and is called Cafeteria El Burgo.
They had vegetarian options Noni could actually eat, and the food was delicious. We decided to go back there for dinner and then found out we needed to reserve a place. That seemed odd, but we did it anyway. Luckily we did, because it turned out we were reserving for some homemade paella! It was the best thing I've eaten this entire trip!
They set up the restaurant so we were all eating at a communal table like a family.
The owners then explained that they had done the camino a few years ago and had an affinity with all pilgrims. They used to manage an albergue, which is where the couple had met, and they're now running a restaurant so all pilgrims could eat decent food for a decent price, and they were saving up to open their own albergue.
We all swapped stories about we why we're doing the camino, we shared our favourite experiences, and we were all serenaded by the owner with some Spanish songs. It was such an amazing experience. I wish these two all the best for their future endeavors, and I'd love to stay at their albergue some day as I'm sure it would be just as wonderful an experience.
So a good, but pretty nothing day turned into another amazing Camino experience.
