I read 2 books a week and have...

    Afternoon Ivar, I have been to many, many El cortes all over Spain but have never eaten in one. I wouldn't eat at a department store in Britain and in Spain there are so many restaurants with character and good value home cooked food to choose from. We did nearly consider eating at the bar...
