This little piggy went to market...

September 9, 2011 Kylie Fuentes

And wow did I enjoy it! I can't believe how much effort these people go to, to display their produce. The results are worth it though.

I scoffed down the most delectable freshly squeezed juice - pineapple and kiwi fruit. But I didn't stop there. Today was a day of full on eating. I haven't eaten this much since the last time I spent the weekend with my parents (yep, they keep feeding you till you are about to explode)!!!

For lunch I ditched the main streets and went to this tiny little cafe which was serving a whole lot of local mechanics on their lunch break. It was the most typically traditional little shop you've ever seen, like the kind of place that we used to go to when I was little. So to most people, it wouldn't be the most exciting feast, but to me it was crazy.

For a few very good reasons, this place has been my meal time highlight so far:

They had Gazpacho Andaluz
They had lomo frito (like hello!)
They had flan
They gave me wine in a bottle and told me to help myself to as much as I like
It was 9 euros
The waiter was super friendly & we had a good old chat
The other waiter was a a grumpy woman with the world's worst bleach blonde. See, not all Spaniards are brunettes, people! I hope I didn't look like that as a blonde!

Then, later the the evening I was feeling a bit peckish (come on, I have been walking for hours and hours on end) so I stopped at the local snack stand... I hit the jackpot. They had the best lollies in the world, including my brother & my all time favourites, ladrillos, gaseosa and pipas!

I'm going to bed with a full belly and a big smile :)
