Dinner - the fruit was BAD, with mushy pineapple that was close to being rotten. Mushy and soggy watermelon and honeydew, sour orange, horrid strawberry, and a blah piece of coconut. The dragon fruit was probably the only thing that was ok. It was a bit of a scam - the top layer looked great, but there was all kinds of sketchy fruit below. I guess I shouldn't have been so cheap - I walked around and saw similar sized portions with similar-quality fruit for 2.5 to 3 euros, but only paid 1.5 for mine. I bet you that the 2.5 to 3 euro buckets had good-quality fruit throughout, and not just on top! One of the workers, Pablo, commented that I was having a very traditional Spanish meal - as much as I slag Spanish food, their serrano is some pretty good ham. The bread was decent, though it had a somewhat tough and dry crust. It was a pretty simple, but quite good meal, especially with the yummy little tomatoes.
