Spain week three, day five

Wednesday May 14th 2008

Moorish Farmhouse, Orgiva, Spain

For our day off today, and to celebrate Linda's birthday tomorrow, we had another drive up to Granada. This remains a real treat and we are not the slightest bit bored of the place yet. Today we visited several of the sites on the western side of the centre, failing yet again to see the inside of the Basillica of San Juan de Dios. Last time we were told it opened at 3:30. Today we were told 8:00. So seeing this will have to wait till next time

What we did visit again was the shop selling enormous jigsaw puzzles that we stumbled on last time, one puzzle of which had 18,000 pieces. I suspect that would take maybe 50 times as long as a 1000 piece puzzle. Linda bought a Rosina Wachmeister cat jigsaw.

I wonder how many of these they sell - 18,000 pieces for Euros 150

Linda and I had dinner out tonight at La Limonero, the same restaurant that we ate at last week for our anniversary. There was a flamenco guitarist playing tonight who wandered round the various tables playing a little at each. Another really good meal there, though it does seem to be a real effort for him to turn the stuff out. His food is at quite a higher standard than the usual for the area, but well worth it. A really nice night out again.
