Having been hiding out in the back and beyond for a few days, we decided to make the most of the city life and find a nice cafe. It seems you have to move quick as they sell out of croissants early at Cafetería-Panaderia Ana María . I managed to get one of the last ones and Mark opted for a chocolate petis soux. Also directly opposite was an eco shop selling my favourite yogi tea so I’m fully stocked again.
Both of us had dressed for a warm sunny day and were thus freezing as the streets are all shaded with the high blocks, and it was only 11 degrees…should have checked before leaving the van.
We mainly dawdled around the town in the morning, visited the food market, spotted a cute jumper that encouraged biscuit munching, browsed the xmas market and opted for lunch at Vintage 54 which does a mix of vegan tapas dishes.
The portions were huge and there was no way we could finish, plus my ‘nachos’ were like a deep fried bread. We haven’t eaten anything like this since leaving and my tummy hated me afterwards; choosing to put me asleep all afternoon to ride out the tummy ache (Mark was fine and the food was tasty).
My nap works well in spain as everything closes between 1-5pm and then reopens, so by the time I woke we were able to visit the cathedral and both the Photography and Guitar museums, which are free, small and interesting.
As a random extra the guitar museum had a huge model town in the basement, which was charming. Also as a side note the Google Lens app is great for translating exhibitions descriptions.
Arriving home we decided to take the pups out for their bedtime walk but Ernest got distracted playing with a 5 month old boxer puppy. For half an hour they chased around playing while I cobbled a conversation in Spanglish with her owner. Mabel hates fun and Jasper was bored so they went walking with Mark. Ernest was shattered by the time we left 🤣
