Lunch In Melide

I know, I can hear the comments now: "not more food pictures!" For those uninitiated, the Camino runs on food, it is third only to water and a bed of some kind for the night.
We are staying in Hotel Carlos 96,in Melide, some 52km from Santiago.  There is a story behind the name, but I won't go into it here, but it is run by the owners and the food, service and services are first class...a bit of a plug for them, but justified.
We went to the bar for a drink after checking in, and along came a bowl of complimentary stew with the beers. That was it! One taste of the stew and we stayed for lunch.
The Cap. Had the best chicken noodle soup in his life and the rest of had what can only be described as a stew of beans, bacon chunks, chorizo and noodles in the guise of a soup. We could not finish the terrines of soup, so much food that Compass cancelled his main course.
The picture speaks for itself.....(TL).

I can tell you, that put smiles on our dials!
