Lunch for 400, served in the Sports Hall, consisted of 3 courses: entremeses, cold cuts of meat, carne magra al horno, pork chops from the top of the leg done in the oven, pictured above...
...followed by flan with tinned fruit salad, coffee and regional biscuits/pastries, not forgetting wine, water and bread plus a selection of spirits.
