Although the chiringuitos will eventually be the perfect solution, they are not up yet. Even when they are, there will be times when the chiringuitos are packed and you're stuck venturing off to another locale where you may have to tear yourself from the view or the sand or the water or the table to get another beverage from the bar. I give you exhibit A:
Refuse to leave and risk losing your spot to other thirsty tourists? You have a couple options:1. Find a bar like this one. As you can clearly see, I never have to leave my table to order another beer. The foamy fabulousness is available by tap right there in front of me. This is an option, for those who REFUSE to lose any drinking time. (Note: Table exit frequency is negatively correlated to bladder size.)
2. Have children or find children (just pretend they are yours) and then send THEM to the bar for you. Really, this is the perfect solution because you can sit anywhere, even at tables without beer taps on them! Here, is an example of this technique being executed perfectly.
These kids parents are sitting at an outside table enjoying the Spanish sun while Jorge and Maria, here, play "Who gets to carry the drink next." The kids are entertained and you never lose your seat when refilling. (Note: you may want to stick to bottled beer when sending the kids. The retrieval times were significantly faster when Jorge didn't have to balance a full-to-the-brim glass of Cruzcampo draft.) No seriously though, you should have seen how focused he was on not spilling a drop. He did a good job... it just took him a lot longer. :)
LOL! Rick tried to do the 'fetch me a beer' thing with Amanda when she was little. But yeah, she was slow and it cost him a quarter every time she delivered!
