Food and Cars

Over the weekend, the Gallego Musical Festival was going on at our local park. And who are we to deny this festive occasion, literally a three minutes' walk from our house? Although we showed up with no musical acts scheduled, we obliged ourselves to enjoy the Galician culture and revel in what they are best known for -- their food!

We salivated just by looking at the sign: "Gallegan Gastronomic Tasting".
A classic display of hanging hams, sausages, wine and cheese.

Bollas Gallegas -- rustic round loaves of white bread. With its crackly thin crust and sweet, airy interior, it is one of Galicia's treasures.

Oh yeah. Cut us up a piece of that empanada, one of the most popular dishes from Galicia.

Pulpo, or octopus. Ehhhh....not my thing, but I was told that it was overcooked. Maybe I'll give this suction-y creature another try.
Lacón is cured ham from the front leg, sprinkled with olive oil, salt and paprika.

This is so bad yet oh so good! Fernando's weakness - truffle cake. My weakness - real cheesecake!

It's not a festival without fun stuff for the kiddies. We hit up the other side where Paloma got a chance to test drive some cars. Vroom!!

She felt this one accessorized well with her outfit.

Why can't people just pull over to the side when there's an emergency?

Who's coming with?

The VW bug would be great to drive along the Mediterranean coast with the girls, no?Roomy passenger seats, leather interior...likin' it!

Ehh. An ancient Ford Model T. Next!

Much better. But does this model go zero to sixty in 3.2 seconds?

Now this is more like it. Eat her dust!
