Very nice atmosphere and views from there. I tried biscochos was nice but very dry. The cheese came wrapped nicely in leaves. It is also tradition if you visit the town to buy these for friends and family and take home with you.

We stopped here to sample the local bizcochos. The cheese is wrapped in the large green leaves, and it tastes somewhat like mozzarella or string cheese. Very mild. The biscuits are light and crispy. They look like they might be heavy and dense but they aren’t. The biscuits are spread with caramel sauce then that his eaten along with the chunks of cheese. We were told it is a favorite local breakfast menu. The shop had small souvenirs for sale and other food items. The view from the eating area was spectacular. My only complaint is I wish the windows had been cleaner so we could take better photos from inside (as it was raining outside at the time). There are restrooms available for customers. Nice little rest stop place.
