Last night we joined the ladies from the other EPA classes for dinner at the Restaurante Alborada in Bigastro.
It was probably the best 16€ we have spent on food in Spain. The restaurant deserves top marks for style, presentation, quality of food, service and value.
We started with three different fish mousses, two of which were topped with caviar. This was followed by peppers in tomato sauce stuffed with vegetables. Then we had large flat pieces of toasted bread drizzled with olive oil. To cleanse the palate we had a tuna salad followed by delicious deep fried baby squid. To continue there were bread rolls filled with meat or cheese and finally a choice of several desserts.
The food was washed down with a choice of drinks. Some had Kas, Coke or water, others had sangria or beer; chief scout John and I shared a bottle of red wine. To round off we had coffees. Again John and I had Belmontes – expresso coffee with a measure of brandy served with condensed milk. Some of the ladies had an infusion of manzanilla (camomile tea) -a much healthier option!
Of course a good meal is enhanced by good company. Last night the company was excellent. These ladies have made us feel so welcome in Bigastro with their warmth and generosity.
