Askao Kalea
Askao Kalea
We hadn't planned to go on our quest this night.
It's movie night: the DOCK bar/cultural centre in Paseo Uribitarte, for its Cine Retro Wednesday, is screening "Honey, I shrunk the kids". Free entrance and free popcorns with one beer!
After the film, we walk together to the Casco Viejo, and decide to have a caña after all. There's some talking to do, some time to spend thinking, the calmness of a midweek evening, and not all bars are closed yet. We enter CAFETERÍA MELCHOR in Calle Askao.
The bar is long and narrow, and the barmaid quite friendly. They offer Estrella Galicia draft beers, the lager and the 1906 Reserva. On a wall, a blackboard shows two riddles: be the first to solve them and your drink is on the house. Bea has the solution (can you guess it too?), but arrives too late to claim the prize. The barmaid kindly offers to take a photo of us all the same, to award our effort.
This is really a tiny episode, but still worth mentioning: first, the feel of a local bar with its own atmosphere put a smile on our face; secondly, it's our first bar in this part of Casco (I mean during the BBQuest, obviously).
Hasta el próximo fin de semana...
