November 03, 2009
The problem with breaks in November is you feel so bloody cold and damp when you get back. But all the same what we needed was a lovely week in Los Cristianos, at an average temperature of 25 degrees, lying in the sun, reading, eating and drinking.
We were up at 5:00am today and headed off to Tulse Hill Station for a train to Gatwick. Where we were befriended by some guy who had no idea where he was, how he got there or where his phone was. He'd obviously had a very good night, if only he could remember it. All he kept saying was "What fucker has got my fucking iPhone" and "Where the fuck is Touse Hill"? Weird! We had his company as far as East Croydon.
Eleven hours later we were in our hotel and desperate to get out for beer and sun. Sam had checked out some restaurants online before we left and we tried the first, a Tapas place, for dinner that night. Tasca De Mi Abuelo had, quite possibly, the most amazing thing I've eaten. black pudding, stuffed with fois gras, sultanas, pine nuts and rice. Then they coat it with brown sugar and take a blow torch to it, leaving the top caramelised and crunchy. Healthy it isn't. We also had some fantastic Serrano ham [with bread coated with olive oil and tomato], garlic prawns and cheese stuffed mushrooms. It was so gooded we booked a table for Saturday night before we left!
