We trotted off down to Heurcal Overa this morning, earl-ish, to stock up on cat food, from Lidle, that they happen to like just now. When we got there all the shops and the whole place was closed for the fiesta holiday which is this week end. As well as all the shops being closed, lots of streets were blocked off because of the fair that they are having. It is simply huge. I haven’t seen a fairground set up as large as that since when I was small, just after the war (second one of course), and a fairground was erected at Town Moor in Newcastle (anyone remember it?).
So we didn’t get any shopping, but we did call in at El Rancho’s and had a pint and a grand ensalada (large salad with lovely crusty bread) with lashings of olive oil and vinegar for lunch. We determined to go there this evening and try one of their steaks, grilled with herbs, on a massive open fire. It’s just that sort of weather for this sort of meal right now, cool and a good wind blowing. The wind is buffeting the caravan a bit but is probably holding off any rain that’s lurking. We will pay homage, or otherwise, to the steak, tomorrow.
One of the enclosed pictures, taken looking west from the computer room, has come out quite dark. Because of the sun it has turned more dramatic than it really is. There will probably be a super sun set if the breaks in the clouds hold open. The other picture is looking SE from the computer room and is probably the more realistic of the two.
