Estábamos haciendo el camino y salimos pronto de Arcahueja y buscábamos un sitio para desayunar. Entramos en un bar que vimos abierto en León y la camarera nos recomendó venir a Río Cares ya que ella no tenía bocadillos. Excelente recomendación, todo muy bueno e incluso con tapa de bizcocho. Las camareras muy atentas, no me extraña que vaya tanta gente a desayunar.
