When I arrived in a medium-sized village of Cariñena, the first restaurant I came across was packed with people; I knew this would be my tortilla of the day spot. A friendly local started chatting me up, asking where I was going, where I was from, what the hell I was doing out here in the middle of rural Aragón. We chatted for a while and he was impressed with my story. It was great to socialize, he was fun and had an endearing accent. The solitude of a bike tour can be liberating but there are also moments of loneliness: 99% of your day consists of pedaling by yourself on a bike – so a bit of social interaction was a welcomed change. He strongly recommended the menú del día over the bocadillo. I went inside to inquire about the details of the lunch special and every single one was mostly comprised of pig or cow. I had decided to do a month of being a strict vegetarian so I was excited when I found the only non-meat item; tortilla de patatas con ajos tiernos. The friendly old man whipped me up a delicious bocadillo and I was content and refueled. Being a vegetarian in rural Spain isn’t an easy task!
