Landed in La Carlota just before the heavens opened, but the rain caught us on the way out of Mercadona – which was not the time to find that our trolley had locking wheels. The van having been too big to park in the car park, we were tucked in to a space across the road. Soaked to the skin after that and then going in to Reception on arrival here, we are now contemplating the rain pouring down the windscreen whilst we drink coffee and eat Stroopwafel (it’s that kind of day). Of course the restaurant here is closed today. I think somebody leaks our plans and warns these places that we are coming. So, it is a homemade Chorizo and Chickpea stew tonight. The Valdepeñas that we bought in Mercadona is out, in a vain attempt to warm it up. We passed by the Pata Negra winery in Valdepeñas on our way here today, so keeping things local 🙂 The wine BTW cost a princely 2€65. We had some last year and found it to be amazing VFM. Oh, and we finally bought a tit 😉 Dusty travelled very well today. Not a word of complaint. #wp #spain #weather #gastrovanners #gastrovanner #food
