‘Cidra’ means cider

Sean likes cider, and we discovered a brand while in the Basque region that was as good or better than his favorite (Strongbow). Since then we haven’t had any luck.

Until Sahagun.

We were staying at the monastery, attended the pilgrim blessing with a group of our friends, then went out for dinner. And there on another table sat this cartoonish thing—which turned out to be a cider dispenser!

Sean and I ordered one and, while the cider was only fair, the entertainment value was fantastic.

We were cautioned by many to only dispense a little at a time and then to drink it immediately or it should be thrown out! Evidently this little device adds fizz to the liquid while also preventing the loss of something from the bottle. You push a button on the back of the little guy and it squirts cider into the glass in his arms.

It was a hit at our table!もっと詳しく
