At the beginning of the town on the right is vineyard / Restaurant Moncloa. If you go into their shop and say the words '¿Tiene un vaso de vino por un peregrino (or peregrina) que esta muriendo de sed?', they will (or should) give you a free glass of wine and a tapa. :) Their restaurant is also recommended.
This part of the route is through some of El Bierzo's best grape growing areas. The main grape here is the Mencía a descendent of the Caberet Franc grape, said to have been carried here by a French pilgrim. From it are produced the area's distinctive reds and rosés. Another grape variety, La Godello is used to produce white wine.
