July 29th

Slept in a little today, and took a walk thru town. Went down to the beach and walked up this hill they have down there that overlooks the port. It's called El Castellar. Really nice views of the ocean and the city. Was great to just chill for the day!!!!

Walked thru this market and found Ma's birthday gift, hope she likes it. We were actually together in Paris on her birthday, but I was not prepared. She said not to worry about it, but it's my Ma!

Then off to a cafe for some Caná. That's what they call their draft beer. Had some tapas... Fried calamari, some incredible chorizo on baguette, and some Patata Bravas. The chorizo reminds me of the sausage I had every morning down in Mexico when we went two years ago with the fam. Awesome! And Patata Bravas are like the bombas I've talked about recently. They are simply fried potatoes with two sauces. Every place has their own version. A spicy tomato and a garlic aioli. Basically ketchup and garlic mayo at the cheap spots. But soooooo good at the nicer places. They even do a play on the dish at Miramar. It's those potato pillows we made the other day, filled with the sauce. My friend Mailing would like Spain, she loves french fries:-)

Hung at the beach, ate a great meal, Im out! Back to Barcelona mañana...

Just a bunch of pics from today, no cookin...
