I'm going to have to learn to drink something other than beer if I have any intention of getting drunk here. The local beer found everywhere is called Mahou, and it's your basic shitty macrobrew pilsner. Thank god it's cheap.
Fortunately, amontillado sherry was surprisingly good. I thought I was going to hate the stuff, as wine and high ABV beverages and I generally do not get along. The amontillado I had was €2.50 for a good 4oz or so pour, and it had picked up a wonderful almost walnut character from the casks it aged in. I wouldn't follow somebody into a catacomb full of something I'm allergic to only to get bricked into a wall for it, but I guess Fortunato makes a bit more sense now.
In about 6 hours from getting off the plane to now, I walked almost 10,000 steps, and I'll certainly hit that mark by dinner. I'll need it, because there's so much good food.
These will be better posts when I'm not sleep deprived.
