Exploration of city and laneways
Shopping
Conjunto Catedralicio
Highlight(s)
- Each and every laneway offers up a new experience.
- Lunch - we stumbled across a great little local Italian place called Maramao. Handmade pasta and house wine were the order of the day. We stumbled out at about 4pm and went back to the hotel for siesta.
- The second-hand bookstore was a ripper.
- Relaxing having an evening drink in one of the laneway cafes.
- Miguel's Gelati count - 10
Odd Spot
* Mick is demanding to be called Miguel whilst in Spain.
* Italian's are well renowned for being very particular - especially when it comes to eating. An Italian on the next table at breakfast demanded that the waiter bring coffee from the restaurant upstairs after turning his nose at the brewed variety on offer at the buffet. When the coffee arrived, he tried it and pulled a face - then he added some more milk, and pulled a face - then he added some sugar, and pulled a face - and then he just pushed it aside shaking his head.

FK Remote office and sales uniform
hello again... I think the sales uniform is very becoming, put me down for two. We at FK like to stand out from the crowd. Also, the rate of expansion of FK offices across Spain is amazing...keep up the great work and say hi to all the staff for me!
