Papas y papas

Well, to say the least, we have not gotten the hang of ordering food in Spain. Although we speak a little Spanish, we are not exactly sure what are getting ourselves into when ordering traditional Spanish dishes. However, I do know what "papas" are, and I do know what "papas fritas" are. So... for dinner (and breakfast) Papas Bravas it is! These fried potatoes are served with a delicious spicy, red sauce.

(Brian did branch out for lunch today ordering "shrimp pancakes", which are similar to a crab cake. Bonus points for Brian though, his shrimp still had their eyes and tails attached!)

After two straight meals of fried potatoes, we were in search of some "frutas y verduras" in order to add a little nutritional value to our meals. Lucky us, right up the street was an awesome market, Mercado de la Cebada, with stalls packed with fruits, vegetables, meats, and fish! It's like having a farmers market right up the street from your house, open every day of the week :)
