Yes that's right - boiled octopus is the specialty in this region --OMG! I won't tell you how it tastes because I won't ever know -- but I can guess !!
The last couple days I have been constantly thinking about the food I want to eat when I get home! I think I have lost at least 10#, maybe more- my hiking pants are like clown pants now- so I won't be able to indulge too much!! But there is a reason I have never seen a Spanish restaurant outside of Spain- we have not been big fans of the food. I have eaten more carbs this month than I have in years-- that only works when you are burning 3000 calories a day : ) Found a fresh market that was open today and going to have a great salad for dinner. And some 1906 Especial ciervazas : )
DO IT! you have to at least sample one small bite of a grilled pulpo! I understand, though "sadly" will never find out, they are delicious off a wood-fired grill, a bit of olive oil, salt & pepper...yum! and if not..there's always 1906
ReplyDeleteNow that is about as ugly as it gets....but the guy isn't too bad. Anxious to see you both.

Lisa and Andy, You should try the octopus. The tentacles are a little weird looking but it is pretty good. Chewy. So glad you are almost to your destination!!! What an accomplishment. Thanks for sending all the pictures and posts. Keep up the good work. Love, Lisa
ReplyDeleteI agree with all previous comments, especially MAV's...ha! I found "The Way" on Netflix the other day and watched in honor of you. :) Can't wait to hear your stories in person and resume our usual Saturday chats at the restaurant. I have no doubt that you'll finish strong...the ocean awaits!!
