The Man Eating a Hotdog

Holidays in the sun, part 1.
Blog date 12.8.07
We're on holidays in Argate once again so Jaki suggested we can the planned sardine bbq and go out for a quiet night on the town. So off we headed to San Antonio's lovely church area and the bar Es Verro, cheek by jowel with the bar Don Quijote.
You may remember from previous posts that they share live music on Sundays when clients in both bars can enjoy the band playing under the giant walls of the church. Another nice thing is that DQ's is a mere bar so clients boozing there can order food from EV next door!
We relaxed with squid, thai chicken, chorizo and biscay style cod a bottle of chilled white and some alhambra special brew while behind us in the craft market, for reasons unknown to us, there were lots of women from Spain's deep south dressed in traditional tight spotty dresses.
As we finished we could hear the strains of music wafting up from Cafe Babel just beyond the church.
It was the same samba combo we'd seen a couple of weeks before, so I treated Jaki to a G&T there before we went home.

So what has a hotdog got to do with this tale? Well, the bar Es Verro is named after San Antonio's landmark statue The Shouting Man which isalso known as The Man Eating a Hotdog!
