Food - of great importance to the Spanish. The food at our hotel was of extremely high quality - a mix of Spanish, European and a polite nod to the English. We were on full board but sometimes had breakfast, lunch or supper out because the cuisine was fresh and extraordinarly inexpensive. The first photo shows coffee, a half tumbler of Baileys and cake for 1,50 euros.Then you can wander down the street and pluck an orange or two straight from the trees which line the boulevards, promenades and streets.
The cake shops are enough to make you faint with pleasure when you walk by - this one is a special Christmas bread. I had what I thought to be a
wafer covered with thin chocolate but somehow they had sneaked in enough caramel to make my teeth start singing.However, cheap doesn't mean low quality. Hubbie and I had a lunch for 5 euros - the first course three fresh sardines on bread with olives, then tortilla with salad and a pudding of glorious eggy custardy brulee AND a glass of Bailey's. It was a tiny little cafe and each day you would get just one choice but everything was fresh.
