On the road through Spain to Portugal we had our second lot of jamon for the day from a deli in a massive but deserted Spanish roadhouse where everyone looked at us like exotic animals.
Is it that obvious we are not Spanish? Jamon from nearby Leon was a good driving snack- Vegemite like richness. Quote of the day: 'ham tastes so much better in spain' (Rach).
So many tunnels through the mountains and motorways that zig and zag accross each other. We counted at least 40 birds of prey.
We apparently picked the day when everyone was back burning. Fires and smoke on the horizon. We drove past one with flames licking the road that was obviously out of control (water bomber flying overhead and police on the motorway). They waved us through the smoke and flying ash but scary none the less.
The sunset after fire is a cruel joke. It makes for some amazing colours, contrasts and designs.
Nice digs in Porto.
Very nice digs. I wonder if the setting makes the ham taste better or if it's fresher? Either way I like the sound of it xx
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely the most obscure place we have bought smallgoods from- a little column a, a little column b;)
