that bar is ALL there is in San Juan! I remember the menu too: tortilla,
cheese tortilla, ham tortilla, sausage tortilla, tortilla sandwich, cheese
tortilla sandwich, ham tortilla sandwich, sausage tortilla sandwich, and plato
combinado which consisted of three different types of sausage, a slice of pork
loin and a fried egg . . . you might wish to buy food along the
way (especially if vegetarian) although the refugio does do early morning
coffee.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Rosina's right. That church is a gem; it's worth bringing along a little
spyglass so you can more clearly see the capitals. It also has a fabulous
Souls in Purgatory, methinks! (You'll be glad you have one, too, at Santo
Domingo de la Calzada, and Fromista, and Roncesvalles, and Santiago!) </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>One other item not to miss at San Juan de Orbigo is the morcilla sausage
served at the little bar integral to the monastery/refugio. It's right up
there with the morcilla served at La El Bicha in Leon...I think it may even be
better! It's not an architectural wonder like the church next door, but it's a
delight all its own...especially with a cold glass of San Miguel cerveza.
(when you get to Burgos, have a big platter of champignons planchada!)</DIV>
