Frances, (2018)
You seem to be a good person to ask: with all the eucalyptus trees, where are the koalas?
Ah, the lost koalas of northern Spain. They used to travel in vast herds across the Meseta, eating eucalyptus to their hearts' content. Then the Spaniards determined how tasty they were, morcilla de Burgos was born, and the herds were no more. A very sad but delicious story.

And another attempt looms, to buy a decent Poncho after trying and failing in the previous two likely towns. Anyone know where an Altos or similar might be bought in Leon, please? 😁
