We asked at our hotel for a seafood restaurant they would recommend, and they made us a reservation for 8:10. An odd time but the restaurant ....Don Quitote ....did not open until 8pm! We are in Spain! It was about a 15 minute walk from our hotel so we set off. The dining room was through the bar and was fairly formal, two guests were seated on the far side of the room, we were the only other patrons. Paella sounded nice, and it is a Spanish dish so we ordered a seafood paella. Now I have made this fish once before and it contained mussels, crab, white fish, salmon and sausage as well as rice, to the best of my memory. Our waiter talked us into the lobster paella. ......with rice. Jeff says it was the most expensive rice he has ever had! There wasn't a whole lot of lobster, plus we had to fight to get it out of the shell! The splatter on our clothes was a ....bonus?! To be fair the flavour was quite nice, the bill for rice was not, but what the hey! We did each have a refreshing simple salad, and heavenly bread like you can only get in Europe.
We rounded off the night with a walk back to our hotel .......early call tomorrow, our taxi arrives at 5 am for our Iberian Airlines flight to Milan via Madrid.
Our Italian adventure awaits.
Arrividerchi amigos and amigas.....xo
