A very warm welcome on a quiet evening as it was October 12th , generous tapas with our drinks . The Costilla de cerdo confitados were very good , fell off the bone . The gambas ajillo were also good almost a hint of curry although no curry involved just local peppers &amp; saffron I am guessing. The wines are a little more than elsewhere but heh one was the Best Wine in Spain so 7.50 euros a glass is ok :) PS Best in Spain according to one article in a French magazine &ldquo;Taster&rdquo; Worth a visit but only if you have already been to Jam&oacute;n Spain

Following the first stop, today we come to the second stop of the Castilla-La Mancha Food Tour-Ciudad Real. Let&#39;s prepare a food tourism plan!
