The City that always sleeps
Bocadillos all the way!
14.07.2007
Just stayed 3 days in Tortosa on my way to Valencia. It is a beautiful city on the Delta Ebre. But I use the term city loosely. It is more a quite town as there was about one restaurant - of which when I entered one night at 9.30 it appeared just the owner & his family were the only patrons as they looked at me curiously as they tucked into their meal. Needless to say that I turned heel & tried to find somewhere else to fulfill my steadiliy increasing hunger. The only place that I could find was a place that served nothing but ´bocadillos´ basically baguettes with a choice of fillings. The service was good, but it was funny by the fact there was a full menu for what is essentially just a sandwich. Well ended up in an Irish bar for the three nights there. Curiously the Irish bar was the busiest bar in all of the town with 6 people in. That number also includes myself, the owner & the owners wife! Ended up drinking Guiness & watching horse showjumping on T.V. from Ireland. Oh well thats all part of travelling
