First week

We have been here for almost a week and it has been, by far, the worst weather we have experienced here. Every day has been cloudy and it has rained either constantly or intermittently, often really windy too. This has meant that we haven't wanted to venture out except for essentials and as wandering round the streets of the old town is one of the pleasures of being here, it has not been fun. We have felt trapped in our apartment which, though comfortable, gets boring.
This evening started dry and we went first to a tabanco we haven't tried before which was closed for vacation (as last year) so went to an old favourite - Almacen - which is just a beautiful space. The food is good too. On the way home we stopped in the Tabanco Plateros for an oloroso (1.80 euro a glass) at the end of the street where we used to stay.
Then it started to drizzle for our walk home.Read more
