I finally had the Spanish meal of my dreams, not far from the sweet cottage where we’ve been staying with our friends at el Mozucu restaurant in San V. I remembered the grilled and salted sardines from our last visit here in 1989. Nothing like the little ones packed into a tin with oil (although I like those too and bought some as gifts.) we also had an outstanding seafood paella that arrived in a large red ceramic pan, very moist and full of flavor, with large chunks of seafood (clams, crab, octopus.) all eaten outside overlooking boats bobbing in the harbor and mountains in the distance on a suddenly warm and sunny day. Bliss.
We also walked around the ancient part of the city which is somewhat hidden by the newer parts. We walked up a narrow cobblestone path to the castle and beyond that done beaucoup carved stone buildings to the lovely old church. It’s the kind I like, fairly simple, not too ornate, with almost folk art looking sculptures, including an angel holding an oar.
Along the water is a pretty promenade lined with thick palm trees and a square surrounded by squat plane/sycamores. We had another must-have at a cafe liver looking rhe square: fresh churros with hot chocolate the consistency of chocolate pudding to dunk them in. We also bought some tinned sardines and chorizo to take home as gifts.
