About Bar La Babia

The fried pork belly and pork knuckle are what people keep coming back for, and the portions are generous enough that finishing everything on the table is a real challenge. The morcilla earns its own following, and the variety of pinchos means there is always something worth pointing at on the bar. Breakfast runs to a full set menu at around five euros — coffee or chocolate, a pastry and fresh fruit juice — which explains the early crowd. Opposite the municipal pilgrim albergue and a short walk from the cathedral, the place draws a constant mix of Camino walkers and Burgos locals, and the two seem entirely comfortable sharing the same small room. Pleasant waiters and generous pours of tinto verano keep the atmosphere easy.
