Most of the small towns that we pass through, offer refreshments for the "perigrinos." A "perigrino" is a pilgrim, or a hiker on the Camino. Many folks have converted old garages into soda/coffee shops just for us!
We have been doing our best to adapt to the new lifestyle, and schedule in Spain. Everything, including pharmacies, stores, restaraunts, banks, and anything else that you can imagine, closes between 3:00-7:00 p.m. When we do get a chance to eat, the standard is a "bocadillo." It consists of a large baguette, with Spanish ham and cheese. It is € 3.00, and can easily feed two people.
There is no such thing as soda from a tap, or a cup with a straw. When you order a drink, they bring you a cup of ice, and a can/glass bottle of soda.
One night, we decided to order a "hamburgesa" which is a hamburger. When we got it, it was the size of a McDouble, and had a fried egg on top. We really liked the Spanish salsa that replaced the mayo/ketchup/mustard. The "papas fritas," better known as French fries, were a very tasty side.
The wildlife is very interesting, and is mostly birds. We have seen several storks living on the tops of abandoned smokes stacks, and chimneys, and many other high places.
