La Comida

Our options for eating on this trip quickly galvanized into a happy routine. Breakfast at the hotel, which offers a superb variety of eggs, meats, cheeses, fruits, yogurts, juices, and breads (excellent croissants) each morning. Lunch is “find a little spot that offers simple sandwiches and. Hopefully fresh orange juice.” Dinner has been tapas every night this far, and I see no reason to change that. We’ll run out of days here before we run out of little out of the way tapas restaurants. So far, each one has been better than the previous. A couple of truly outstanding dishes come to mind—some grilled octopus served on spiced mashed potatoes (last night) and tonight’s roasted red peppers stuffed with mushroom humus and served on crusty bread with a really good sauce. Patatas bravas have been a staple each night. Amazing how many different ways there are to prepare that simple dish.
