You’re doing it wrong…

1st:

Pimientos de Padron

White Wine (Small serving)

2nd:

Jamon Iberico (pata negra)

White Wine (small serving)

Maybe some tortilla and queso manchego if you can source that in the US (its a bit strong and pungent so may not be to your liking)

Desert:

Basque Cheesecake

Maybe so desert wine (I usually skip this as I am not a huge fan of Spanish desert wines). Coffee and some petit fours is fine.

Then you move on to dinner…🙂

I made a mistake in planning so Noor is closed on the Monday I happen to be in Cordoba. Actually a lot of places are closed on Monday. What else is there

Also, how good is Basque food when you’re not in the Basque country? I was wondering if I should just save that for later if I ever visit Bilbao

Its decent if you are in a place like Madrid (so you have a large contingent of Basque restaurants).

Can get meh in smaller places. I wound avoid outside San Seb/Bilbao area.

Great. They cancelled by Rio flight so now I have to stay in a Lisbon hotel and come back tomorrow for a day flight.

Arrgghh…TAP is going to hear from me tomorrow.

Normally, I’d put in a Top 10 Happy Hour in Lisbon, Portugal link here, but I’m guessing all the bars are closed. ☹

Yeah. Had to scramble to get a hotel and get some sleep.

On the flipside, TAP lady told me that I am eligible for €600 in EU flight compensation (as the cancellation was the fault of the airline) alongside the usual expenses. Yay free money 🙂

So eating some bacalao at the food market inside the airport…(which is actually surprisingly good) before my day flight in a few hours.

This is something the EU really got right. If an airline screws up in the US, maybe you get a night at the Holiday Inn and a $25 food voucher.
