Padrón Off The Beaten Path

A small galician village. But here Camilo José Cela was born, and his Nobel Prize for literature is the proud of everybody there, You can see Cela in statues, in pictures spread in every bar, in every restaurant: much more than a football star! Here also lived her last years the famous (in Spain!) Rosalia de Castro, and from here come the famous (in Spain!) "pimientos de padron", green peppers, very good fried.
There's a nice atmophere, a small, intimate old town with restaurants and bars, and a river with ducks and swans; and don't miss, every sunday, the local market, colourful parade of street vendors, where you can find almost everything, from underwear to pimientos, from fruits to warm steaks!
