The sauce was akin to a separate soup course......never to be forgotten! And surely the sloppy diner who held the bowl to her lips to down the remaining liquid will not be forgotten, either, but not for entirely good reasons!!! This was out of this world!

Berberechos in salsa encurtido...at LUME..smashingly great. Media ración: 11.75 euro.... Next time I ought to get two full orders; just think of all that sauce I can drink after the clams have been devoured. What a great restaurant!

These navajas were sauced with pil pil, one of a choice of four sauces offered with the impeccble shellfish dishes. This is a half racion; to complement these, I had a half order of berberechos with a different, more spicy, sauce that was so great I lifted the cup with the remaining sauce to my lips and scoured the entire bowl without a thought of etiquette.

Incredibly delicious consommé presented in a handmade ceramic bowl as a complimentary first course. A harbinger of delicious things to come! I think the base was poultry.

Wending through the casco historic from the Plaza de Cervantes in Santiago. I think we were some of the only tourists jot here for the Camino!! We met folks from all over. Some on tours where their luggage was carted from place to place in a van. Others who slept rough (and looked it!!). One man from Maine had just completed his 23rd Pilgrimage but he still did not know a lick of Spanish (or Gallego!!).
