I love the scents of apple trees and all the flowers and all these narrow alleys and the sun and and and... And my allergy is getting worse, I keep sneezing and sneezing. Yesterday evening I participated a walking tour around the lovely quarters of Barrio de Santa Cruz and it's surroundings which are full narrow alleys and hidden plazas. Quite a many alleys are so narrow the roofs of the houses are almost touching each other and you can touch the house on the both sides of the streets just by stretching your arms a little bit further from your body.
Nowadays the infamous habit of botellon has been prohibited in Spain. No more huge amounts of drunken chicos with their bottles of beer or wine drinking and smoking and shouting in the parks and squares. The only group of that kind we saw yesterday were foreigners, surprise surprise. Couple of happy Dutch teenagers were sitting on the fragile looking statue which I concidered a bit arrogant. Drinking is fine, drinking is nice, I like drinking, but doing things which could potentially damage really old historical remainings is totally another thing. There is enough benches and staircases to sit on, isnt't there? You do not necessary have to place your precious yesterday-born bottom part on top of something which was created at least 500 years ago.
The walking tour ended into the tiniest bar ever, it was only about 4 square metres of space. We tasted the "Orange Wine" which was really thick and sweet. Good to try once but I wouldn't carry a barrell to home. Better to head to yet another bar to enjoy some pints of lager €2.80 each and share 4 delicious tapas among 4 people - €3.30 per tapa which was quite a bargain as they were really delicious and quite big, didn't need to look for any other kinda dinner afterwards.
