In the evening we walked up Calle Reyes Católicos to Plaza Nueva. So many bars along there we don't know how they all make a living. In then to the narrow streets lined with Moroccan tea shops, bazaars selling clothing, jewellery, lights, plates, pots, cushions - you name it, it's there.
And time for the evening drink, a gold-fish bowl sized G+T plus my rioja of course.
About this tapa...no you're not seeing things, we really did get sweets a bit like jelly babies. It isn't so common but I have read that tapas is usually served with drinks that are considered to go with food, such as beer or wine maybe a soft drink. But if you order a mixed drink such as vodka tonic or G+T then out come the sweeties! So the sweets for him and the crisps for me.
Something different for dinner again, we went to a Chinese this time, had a wonderful variety of food that would take too long to do just for 2 of us at home. And how can a restaurant sell a bottle of white wine for just under 5 euros? Local wine, from Extremadura. And delicious too.
One of the many shopping streets between Calle Gran Vía de Colón and our hotel, beautifully lit up at night.
And that was our time away. Did we eat breakfast yesterday before leaving? I hate to admit it but yes we did. But no lunch and a very small snack last night.
