Ribadesella, Spain

Ribadesella is about a 25 minute drive from Llanes and well worth the trip!

The waiter did not speak a word of English and of course our Spanish was poorly delivered but another great meal was enjoyed by all. Another custom we've noticed with these special 3 course meals (not only here) is that they put a whole bottle of wine on the table and you drink what you want - one glass or the whole bottle. It is still included in the price as advertised!Читать далее
