This evening the meal was going to be different, or at least where we ate it was. The idea was to make the meal as usual at the peña but to set up our tables and chairs for our group to eat it in the Plaza Mayor along with every one else in their groups.

The meal for tonight was Fideuá, a traditional Catalan dish made with noodles and sea food. Click HERE to see an explanation and a recipe for this dish.

Our seafood was mainly langostinos and calamares, shrimp and squid, and it was certainly well received by everyone.


Where else could you get around four to five hundred people of all ages, eating and drinking in their own groups in the open air at this time of night?


Before the music group for the evening made an appearance, there was a special turn by a drag artist, simply billed as "¡una sorpresa!", "a surprise!", on the programme of events and the main reason we had all been told to eat our meal in the Plaza.


You never know what to expect! The act was good but not a patch on our very own Lina Morgan!
