Tue 17 Jun- 'chocolate con churros'

Tue 17 Jun- the hotel served a very complete buffet breakfast, included with the room, in a very nice dining room with ambience and nice decor. We walked around the old town window shopping and looking at restaurant menus. There is a range from cheap (E8 for the menu of the day) to expensive (seafood gourmet platters E75 and up). Kiyomi decided to try tapas, so we had a set of four 'raciones' at 'El Patio': pork ears (for the experience, but yuck!); spinach & shrimp (not too bad, but the shrimp was old); grilled meat on a skewer (the best of the set, but Kiyomi didn't like the spices used); grilled seafood on a skewer (octopus, shrimp and veggies - not too bad, but the seafood was old); total E13.40, a disappointment after the great tapas we had in other restaurants, and just about what we paid for the great lunch yesterday. To refresh our mouths from the old seafood taste, we had two orders of 'chocolate con churros' for E4.40 at 'O Porton', a delicious cup of thick hot chocolate and freshly cooked churros, a kind of donut, but cylindrical rather than a torus, so no hole - meant for dunking! It was a great chocolate fix.
Back at the hotel we investigated our future travel alternatives.
