Preguntem si podem dinar i que una de nosaltres no menja carn,li va faltar temps per preparar-li una hamburguessa vegetariana !!! Una agradable sorpresa trobarte gent aixi,gracies.

It's in a magnificent location, the service was great, and the food was very good, although if you're hiking and hungry, you might want a bit more; the portions were a little small in my opinion. There wasn't much variety in the dishes, but that's to be expected in remote, hard-to-reach places. Even so, the good service and good food were much appreciated.
