Calle María Muñoz
Calle María Muñoz
This cold and damp weather might discourage weaker knights... But since a friend of Ivan's, Marko, is in town for a visit of a few days, how could we refuse to show him some bars and brag about our noble quest?
We decide to try a new place for our project tonight, then continue drinking in tested, reliable and more lively bars of the Casco, accompanied by several other friends. After a tasty but rushed dinner at Muga, therefore (some Basque people might want to work on their manners...), we enter its neighbour LAU ANAIK, in Calle María Muñoz. It's a quiet, familiar-looking local bar of which we are almost the only customers; the guys order an Amstel and Bea is served a mealy Legado de Yuste (Belgian Pale Ale). We sit at the bar, and enjoy the nice background music.
This night is far from over: it will eventually include a lot more beers & beverages. But since all that are was not part of the quest, we can close here our narration and avoid explanation!

Mercado La Ribera
After recovering from last night's excesses (let's say our day started sometime PM), we are ready to add at least one more bar to our list. With our buddies Marko, Iván and Tiziana, we go for food and drinks to Mercado La Ribera, the indoor market on the river. We are left with only a pic of the dinner and not the bar: see the neat division on the table between meat grilled on the spot by Ivan and Marko, and the veggie side of Asian plates ordered by Alex and Bea?

We are left with only a pic of the dinner and not the bar: see the neat division on the table between meat grilled on the spot by Ivan and Marko, and the veggie side of Asian plates ordered by Alex and Bea?
For beers we go to CERVECERÍA ARANBARRI, a bar which boasts of 50 different beer brands from the world. Alex goes for a pint of Guinness, Ivan for a draft pilsner. Bea, however, intrigued by the wide offer, has in mind to order something special... only to find out that apparently there's only the five visible tap beer on the counter, and nothing more. Ok, better than other places, but quite a disappointment - the difference between 5 and 50 is quite striking.
This night as well will go on someplace else, but the BBQuest part ends here. Until next episode, cheers!
