Last night Matt and I walked out to a couple of the local bars within a mile of the house. I had been craving the DE-LISH fried camembert cheese & jelly you can find at Molly Mallones. Of course, I had to wash this down with an ice cold Paulaner. SO refreshing with a lemon.
A bit too refreshing perhaps?
Afterwards, we decided to walk down through the neighborhood to the beach. When the darkness comes, the Spanish come to life, so it was fun seeing a side of the neighborhoods that you don't get to see during the day. You could see the lights on in casas and hear the laughter of friends and families enjoying a relaxing Friday night. We were trying to be quiet, but it wasn't easy considering I had a mean case of the hiccups. HICCUP! shhhhh!.... HICCUP! SHHHHHHHHHH!!!
We encountered a few new friends on the way to the beach.
Once we got to the beach, we discovered a BRAND new place that we had NO idea about!!! It's open all year, but in the summer it's at its best with warm lighting, great cocktails, tiki torches and views of the crashing waves.
Discovering this amazing, vacationy little spot within walking distance of the house makes me excited to think of all the other places we are yet to find. What's neat about Spain, is that the same street or beach or bar can look one way during the winter, one way during siesta, and even another way on a summer evening at midnight. So, you gotta get out there and see it all at different times! Be safe, don't go alone, and don't be stupid, but... try a little exploring in the dark. It's a whole different world at night!
oooh fried camembert & jellyyy... that's sounds uh-maaazing!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG Jenn. SOOOO GOOD. I am going to attempt to make it at home sometime soon. It's amazing the things you'll try to make once you don't have the convenience of aisles upon aisles of american freezer food. :) The fried jalapeno poppers I made the other day came out pretty good... so this is worth a try too! :)
