It was another fiesta week in Cartagena on my last visit, with men walking around dressed as Roman soldiers, and a lovely buzz throughout the city.
As seems to be a wonderful recurrent theme, there was much eating and merriment, so here goes with my next round of places to visit in Cartagena and La Union, Murcia, with links to the restaurants mentioned.
Firstly, I went to an Indian Restaurant called Omkara in Cartagena with my friends, Sandy and Dianne. Had an offering of chicken madras and peshwari nan and wine, all for 20 euros, about the same price as the UK. Lovely food and staff, and I will definitely be going back again.
Still in Cartagena, I saw amazing cakes at Confiterias Marin and really unusual, but wonderful tapas at El Pincho De Castilla. A truly gorgeous place, with hams hanging from the ceiling. I had walked past this place on a number of occasions, but had never ventured inside. So pleased that I had been taken in to take a look.
Saw this lovely car in Cartagena, which wouldn't look out of place in Chicago! Isn't it gorgeous?!
Going back nearer to home, I ventured up to the Calle Mayor one evening to have medallones de solimillo a la pimienta at one of my favourites in La Union, that being Cafe Mayor at 7.5 euros, including a glass of wine. This dish of pork covered in a pepper sauce literally melted in the mouth!
Rounded off the week with sausages and mash at Mel and Maria's, before flying back to the UK the next day.
On a separate note, I now have a copy of an English/Spanish mass book, so I can at least try to respond where I should in mass. Really happy about that.
Another lovely week. To be continued.....
Tip: Ryanair are changing their on board baggage terms and conditions again in November. Check on their website for more clarity on these changes.
