On Sunday, March 13 we drove into Spain on our way to Madrid. No border checks thanks to the EU. As we rode along in the bus we spotted several storks nesting on power line poles. This picture is from a quick lunch stop restaurant - nothing architecturally outstanding, but I like the view of the old walled city, a ruin now, on top of the hill. Many of these dotted around Spain. Also note the word Tapas on the awning. We were to discover, over and over again, that tapas are bite sized goodies served at the beginning of a meal. They come in an endless variety - shrimp, pieces of ham, toast with a tomato paste, chips, nuts, olives, the list goes on and on. Most of the meals we had started with five to six tapas, then salad, then soup, then the main course and dessert. Usually I was feeling full by the end of the tapas. But of course I wouldn't want to insult the chef so I ate it all. Did I mention I gained 5 pounds on this trip?
