As we walked we reached the Plaza España where we had a drink before having another walk, by the time we decided to eat things had got very busy and as neither of us like crowds we decided to return to Molinaseca.

Plaza España.

We parked and went to De mamá Hostel & Cervecería where we had a drink and some food, which turned out to be much better than expected as the food in the area in general had been ordinary to be kind.

After the meal we returned to the room and chilled for a while before heading out for a walk and a drink, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my beautiful Girlfriend Paqui.
