After my lovely swim/sunbathe (not to mention the 30 km walk!) I've just eaten a meagre mixed salad without bread, but am having an orujo con hierbas in a nice small bar. You might be interested to know that the mixed salad was Euro 3.50 and the orujo is Euro 1.50
There is a football match going on in the bar (Pamplona versus the local team) and the locals are very interested and are winning. This town (?) must have the usual issues with tourism, fishing, rich and poor, all needing their own patch and for something good to happen...
This bar is nice, feels real and unpretentious.
I think you could get really ripped off in Finisterra, as some of the prices I have seen for food are quite outrageous!
There is a market in the morning and I plan to get some provisions there and then head for a local beach! Why not!
The weather since noon has been dry and hot, and is forecast to improve over the next few days. Hurrah !
South America is really big and I have never been there. I am leaving the safety of my teaching job to explore 5 spanish-speaking countries and to walk in the footsteps of Charles Darwin on the Galapagos Islands. I am hoping that neither the perilous altitudes of Ecuador, the ravenous midges in the Peruvian rainforest or the crazy Bolivian bus drivers will kill me... I will doubtless meet other people on the edge of sanity who feel the need to wander away from safety. I hope we can be friends.
