周六进城游玩去了La Coruña,在这个以因足球队出名的加利西亚省会城市用了午餐。一行四人在中国餐厅、印度餐厅和墨西哥餐厅里选择了最后一个,我喜欢餐厅的布置,tipical的墨西哥红与绿,墙上挂满了墨城街景的照片,把倒置的酒瓶当烛台,宽帽沿的sombrero, 还有色拉里的aguacate…los recurdos de Proméxico.

周日一不小心又越了国境,来到了葡萄牙。靠着边境的小镇Valença是个旅游景点,周末店家都全天营业,石子铺成的巷子两边皆是卖毛巾、餐布的精致小店。逛完一圈找到一家churrasquería。对西班牙人来说,在葡萄牙消费是很划算的事情,所以就随心所欲了,结果撑得挪动着出门每人也没花掉十块大洋。原来加利西亚和葡萄牙才是巴西、阿根廷烤肉的源头呢,端上餐桌的那盘烤肉让我想起了若干年前在崇明岛上吃过的一盆大闸蟹~~~忘了说,同伴点的甜点布丁下铺的一层蛋糕居然是椰子味的,吃上去味道像是椰蓉月饼。

Today we made a trip to Santiago de Compostela. Of course the Cathedral was breathtaking, for its long history and the work of art that it shows. However, after visiting it, we discovered something that surprised us just as much as the Cathedral did.

It was a cafeteria situated in one of the callejóns near the Cathedral, with the name Mora. At first, it seems just a normal pastelería with some special printed walls, but when you move forward, there appears another space of “Hey relax, take a seat and have some coffee”. Moreover, they sale hand-made chocolate with a super chulo design, wrapped in all kinds of packing papels and even in the shape of a CD.

I ordered a milhojas francesa and a avellana caf’e laitte. The coffee was quite of the American style, light and sweet, which reminded me of the X’mas Special that Starbucks promotes in Sh, that was the same flavor.

With that X’mas papel cup held in one hand, I took a walk in the downtown area during the deep winter…

The milhojas was also fantastic. I’ve never tried that of PAUL which Like told me that enjoys a high reputation, but i think it won’t be far from that anyway.

The cafeteria has its atmosphere designed in an Italian style: simple and modern.

That’ s the very place that i would like to work if it’s not for Velneo, jeje.
