Had a lovely personal walking tour with Elvira. She was delightful! (Now, excuse my spelling.) Went to El Drac de Sant for pinchos, Jordi, the market, Mendizabal for vermouth and pintxos of fuet bonuelos (codfish cake) chistorra sausage, pimento del piquillo with codfish, catalan came and Cava. 2nd stop at Mendizabal had escalivada (roasted veggies including peppers, onion, eggplant covered with aioli on top of coca (bread) with garlic sauce and Vermouth. 3rd place LaBodega had Albondigas—Spanish meatballs, Russian salad, bomba (meatball rolled in mashed potatoes, with white wine. Then a takeaway Horchata of Tiger nuts: Chauffa. Yes, we could eat no more when we were done!
This was during the later stages of Covid, and we needed a Covid test to get on our ship, so Elvira was so nice to set an appointment nearby to get Covid test at a low price. Love Elvira, and Withlocals!
