I started off the day in Segovia with my 1st chocolate croissant of the trip. No time like the present, right?
I didn’t have lunch because I was rushing around Segovia so much, taking in all the fabulous sights. So instead, I had an early dinner. Well, early by Spanish standards anyway. For starters, the sun was still shining. I had dinner at El Bernardino, a restaurant that I’ll admit, does cater to tourists. But it’s right in the middle of the Old Town, so what do you expect?
I had to take a break from croquettes, even though they were tempting, so instead for a starter, I got pork-stuffed peppers. It was here that I first started to notice that peppers in Spain tasted a lot different from the bell peppers I was used to. I’m going to be honest. I didn’t love the flavor. Nothing against Spanish peppers. It’s just me.
For the main course, I got Biscayan-style cod. (Items served in red sauce seemed to be a theme for my meal.) It was pretty good. Looks great though, doesn’t it? Now that I think of it, that meant I had Basque cuisine for dinner two nights in a row. And that’s without ever getting to Basque Country! (Not yet anyway.)
Time for dessert! I got homemade flan with nougat ice cream. Yum!
Time for 2nd dessert! I had a long time to wait for my train after dinner. So I passed by some of the time by enjoying some chocolate mousse at an ice cream place. Yum yum!!
