A small lovely chapel welcomes you just after you enter the inn area. Very worthy to be visited during St. James Camino.

This is a great place to take a break. The service is nice and the drinks cold as it should be. If you only want to take a short break, you should at least stop at the ice cream machine and take a delicious soft ice cream with you for the rest of the way. Mmmmmmhhh….
