On the outskirts of Barcelos, our first coffee break was at Cafe Arantes. Like so many cafes in Portugal and Spain, it is the cornerstone of the community and the go-to place in the morning for coffee. No coffee connoisseur will be disappointed with the caffeine treats they find in these countries. Our morning routine would include a stop about every three miles to enjoy a great cafe con leche! Interestingly, we didn't have a bad cup of coffee on our Camino. The consistency is amazing as is the price (1 - 1.5€ a cup). Starbucks could never compete with the quality or the price of the coffee delivered by the local cafe/bars. Truly, it is one of the real treats of the Camino (for coffee drinkers that is)! Don't forget to add a croissant to go with your coffee!
