Last night we had a special tempranillo wine and Jim had suckling pig which was fabulous and I took a chance on a dish called Malaga Cod...a specialty of the region. I wasn't quite sure about it initially but Jim talked me into it (of course he was having the suckling pig and believe me I didn't get much...) The cod was prepared with cinnamon (or however you spell that) carmalized onions, raisins, and prunes. It turned out to be wonderful. The cod was sablefish (very fresh) and they served a huge portion (Jim got half. This was all of 13 euros...about $18. The suckling pig was more at 23 euro but very worth it.
We've felt Spain to be a great value...not something we have experienced lately in Europe but then London, Paris, the south of France aren't exactly known for being cheap.
Flying to Heatherow this afternoon, overnighting, then home tomorrow.

Oven for baking potatoes...a real meal with all the toppings.
I feel inspired to paint this campanille.
