Saturday rain, intermittent
A day to wander the city in the rain. The beaches, contiguous, three of them, connected by a pedestrian tunnel in one case, put the Riviera to shame.
A visit to the local themalbad resulted in the usual: what is the temperature I asked? 32 she repeated; thinking I misunderstood the Spanish I asked again, same answer when when written down. Not to surprised but this is low even for Europe.
The guernika peppers are much milder than the peppers de padron. There were no spicy ones and with less salt than in Galicia.
A new, to us, soup for dinner: salmorejo. Basically a gazpacho without peppers but with ham and eggs. Mild and tasty.

This is a bit odd. I know salmorejo. It is pureed soup of tomato and bread with garlic, etc. But it is a southern dish, not a northern or Basque one. It is from Cordoba, or Andulusia at any rate. Not that you can't get southern food in the north but, still, not what I would have expected there. I am very jealous of the food. However, I am in CA this week and my brother is BBQing garlicy lamb chops and asparagus.
Yes, the food had been fab,, and yes on the Andalusia source.Interesting that the email version cuts off off part of the post.
