Villafranca Montes de Oca

A restaurant to blow you away

We are staying in a pension by the bus stop. Cheap as chips and the bus stop lets you know we caught the 2pm bus from santo Domingo

A great walk today and no sweat once we'd climbed the hill approaching the golf club. Azofra gave us a great sleep - twin berths and €7 each it's still best value on the camino. Our €45 is reasonable - it's a double bed and a fold down settee but no baffle board for the noisy nutter in ginger! To be fair I slept well last night so I can contest this clash of the snoring Titans

The restaurant is the point. We agreed we'd pay €40 for our 2012 crianza, Rioja and our morcilla and pork steaks combo with peppers onions etc making the flavour fabulous

We couldn't finish the food although the wine was not wasted. The bill was €18----6,6,6 ridiculously cheap and proving yet again there is less poverty in the country world - au contraire it's in the cities where a plate of food so delicious and well balanced is not sold for £4.55 and wine is not £4.55 and the sun is not shining so you can eat with Al fresco because the building opposite is too close

If you stop in montes de oca - go down point at the food and say that marinated pork steak please and that morcilla!!

It's hiding behind the trucks at the trucker stop
