the cuisine of regions running along the French route, offering two weeks of
each month the dishes of Aragon, Navarra, La Rioja, Burgos, El Bierzo,

the San Roque Bodeguilla will offer dishes from the provinces of A Coruña
and Pontevedra as well. Also, throughout this time the restaurant will
publish a book comprised of anecdotes and stories of their clients, and
drawings made between gifts and stays in cottages.
