5 October still warm 

Rest day in this cute town with a famous cathedral. We are staying in one of the two Posadas – Bernardo.  QB in front of the other one. Considerably hidden in the shadows.

The one above, Santo, is where we had a fine dinner last night.   A three fork restaurant with 3 fork service.

The blog has been light for a few days on food as we have been having mostly peregrinos fare.  Formulaic.  Not here. 

The dessert gives a flavor of the place. 

Sheets of caramelized honey and almonds, thinly sliced pears poached in wine with a yogurt based cream that looks like whipped creme.   The rest of the dinner was of similar quality.

The meal was accompanied by, as QB called it, “a harmless little rosada wine”.

Breakfast at Bernardo.

Sixteenth century building sure looks different than in Newport RI same time period.

The cathedral, a major one, as mentioned has live chickens inside. This is based on the “Miracle of the rooster and the hen”

Picnic lunch to make another attack on the fine Gran Reserva. A Still life without electronics.
