Food and lodging recommendations

We thought of posting some recommendations of places we loved to stay and eat. So top marks for accommodation goes to the b&b in Leon (Hostal Casco Antiguo), situated just around the corner of the Cathedral, very nice rooms and very well situated,also at a good price, although 2 star is very nicely decorated.

Second place goes to the b&b in Salamanca (Hostal Concejo ), the rooms are really nice, you get your own private balcony facing the one of the streets in the old town. Again just round the corner of the plaza Mayor( for the non spanish, this is usually the most central point of the town). The rooms are humangous, even our bikes fit in here and there is still plenty of room. Has a nice cafe for breakfast just across the road (Cafeteria Casino).

As for food, major top marks go to Lucia´s recommendation, Tierra Astur in Oviedo (http://www.tierra-astur.com/). AMAZING FOOD! thats all i can say and for those that know me that says a LOT! Second place is a difficult choice, i think it might have to go to la cafeteria Bambu in Salamanca (altough the meat was a little bit over done for our taste, everything else was amazing, recommend the pimientos rellenos (stuffed peppers) http://www.cafeteriabambu.com/.

i think we will leave the bronze metals for some other towns along the way, just thought it might be a good idea to let you know what there is out there in case you are in the area one day.
