June 17: Parador breakfast

The Parador gives a free breakfast to the first 10 pilgrims. It is kind of a reputed Camino institution. So i show up an hour beforehand. A Parador employee led us through the kitchen to a room. They gave us coffee and some churros. That was it. For some reason i had it in my head that it was to be this grand American style buffet, eating along with all the other Parador paid guests. But it was anything but. We ate by ourselves. We ate whatever the cook felt he could spare. It definitely was not American style, but Spanish all the way. Spanish breakfast is basically coffee and toast.
