    Another place i can highly recommend is the bar "Jamon Jamon". Not sure if they still exist, but they used to hand out rather generous free tapas with every drink. (And the drinks were on the cheap side of things to start with).

    I used the FH900 on a May/June CF and i especially liked the light weight and breathability. For the occasional rain it did fine. In long lasting rain it is not enough. I took my chances and it worked, but have been aware that i might have to buy...

    It certainly looked silly, but it was 100% intentional and worked perfectly. The theory: Stuff on the drying racks gets mixed up all the time and you might end up losing your socks because all those dark grey things pretty much look the same...

    Depends on your definition of "affordable". Bar O Pedrouzo made a killer steak for around 40€ (for 2, so 20 each, drinks and sides included). Bar Soriano in Logrono makes great champinion pinchos for like 2€ each, pair with a glass of rioja for...
