Easter Monday

At 9:00am we met and went to La Fresneda to buy the meat then into Alcañiz first for breakfast at La Oficina and then shopping. La Oficina is a great name for a bar/restaurant. If you are there and someone calls you, you can honestly say, "I'm at the office", while you tuck into your bacon, eggs and chips for breakfast!


This was our first visit to Rosi and Pablo's masia near to Valdealgorfa. Pablo has been restoring it over the last year and it was perfect for the events of the day.


We were to have the traditional meal of roast peppers and aubergines with artichokes, lamb cutlets and chops with sausages.

For starters there were plates of olives, crisps, fuet, carved ham...

...and cheeses.

Meanwhile, outside on the BBQ, Pablo and Manolo were looking after the meat.

To follow, there were strawberries and a brazo de gitano - a long swiss roll - and this one had a cream filling for one half and chocolate for the other.

After the meal, a pleasant walk in the countryside...

...collecting wild flowers on the way.

Another great Easter Monday!
