Wounds that aren't treated, fester and grow. These wounds still run deep for a reason.
And indeed they do. Much depends on which side you or your family were on during the Spanish Civil War. Talk to a Galician (I had such conversations this...
This is an interesting remark. I am outsider here on the forum in the sense that the little I know about recent Spanish history is not primarily formed by English language movies, books and news media. I say this without any criticism, just an...
Sorry to @MickMac and others who may be confused by this. What you describe is not what is happening.

2) nuggets de oreja (pig-ear...
LOL.
They do tend to look the same after a while :)
But rather than suggest specific foods, I would make two comments.
At lunchtime (main meal) look for the Menu del Dia rather than Pilgrim Menu. It is often only 2-3 Euros more, but the...
