Sounds like something to look out for! Which town?
Correct! I had difficulty finding it when I left in the early morning last July (it's kind of hiding around an ally) but a neighbor yelled up to the owner, she looked out her bedroom window and opened up for me. I carried the bread all the way to Silleda where I ate it with olive oil andRodeiro. It’s Panaderia Jesus, right @peregrina2000?
True for most of it. Perhaps this place makes a decent sourdough bread? That can last for several days without turning into Terry Pratchett's dwarf breadMost Spanish bread I’ve had could be used as a hammer within three days.
True dat. Basically indestructibleTrue for most of it. Perhaps this place makes a decent sourdough bread? That can last for several days without turning into Terry Pratchett's dwarf bread
He'd probably been up for hours already making bread!Once when I entered Sahagun early in the morning. I could smell the bakery as I walked along the street. When I got next to it the workers were loading the bread into a van. I commented to the van driver that I was pleased to see it. He spoke to me in very good English . He then started to discuss all the problems in the world, he was quite young. It was too much for me so early in the morning. So I said to him I was going to stop for breakfast in the town and to make sure fresh bread was delivered, which he duly did.
Ohhhh. Bummer. You'll just have to walk the Invierno again.I’m sorry I won’t get buy any of this bread on my way out of town tomorrow, because they do not sell or bake on Sunday. Next time!
And I didn't learn of it until after I'd walked the Invierno. Also sad face. Very. I'm a bread hound. But since hearing of it here, now I know. So next time...!Curses! I loitered outside the building early morning, but read that it wasn’t opening till 0830
Doesn't she already have the record for the greatest number of times she has walked the Invierno? Or at least the American record?Ohhhh. Bummer. You'll just have to walk the Invierno again.
The water?Bread is much better in Galicia than in Castilla y León where the wheat production is hundred times more. A mistery.
Couldn't agree more. Been in Portugal for 2 days and everyone speaks fluent English. All I can muster is obrigado. How sad!@peregrina2000, I am envious of you and many others who speak fluent Spanish and can enjoy chatting with the locals. At breakfast this morning I asked if they made "huevos" as they often don't. The man said "si, fritos" and went in the back and came out a few minutes later with a plate of two of the runniest cooked eggs I have ever seen...I'm sure I heard the chicks chirping.Also I asked for salt "sil" and pepper. He didn't know what I meant, so I said "negro" with a shake of my hand. He gave me the salt packet and a bigger one that was brown. I poured brown sugar all over my eggs. I seem to have the most trouble ordering food and it is embarrassing to say how inept I still am, but I enjoy being in Spain, irregardless.
P.S. I loved your bread and hammer comment...so true of thick crust often times!
Yuck. Nope, thank you.runniest cooked eggs I have ever seen...I'm sure I heard the chicks chirping
I first heard her speak "ultra fluent" Spanish when we met halfway between our homes at a park to walk a few years ago. We passed a few Hispanic teens and she walked over to them and chatted; rattleing off the fastest Spanish I'd ever heard coming from someone not born into the language.It was definitely amazing.Yuck. Nope, thank you.
I envy Laurie's Spanish too.
Not really, but thankfully it wasn't as awful tasting as I thought it was going to be!I am sure the brown sugar helped immensely, too!
Just be sure you say, "Hay huevos?" instead of "Tienes huevos?" Different meaning. (And salt is "sal."@peregrina2000, I am envious of you and many others who speak fluent Spanish and can enjoy chatting with the locals.

I had to use google translate to get the joke as I had no idea why it provided the "haha's"...Just be sure you say, "Hay huevos?" instead of "Tienes huevos?" Different meaning. (And salt is "sal."
