Gigantic Paella !!

In the meantime, the giant paella was being cooked by the A Sanchez Cocinamos Platos Gigantes, a Company specialising in truly gigantic paellas. Again, I will let the pictures tell the story. It apparently provided 600 good sized portions and took nearly an hour to serve. I noticed some Spanish queueing up for seconds, and yours truly was offered the last portion (having already had one earlier) as I was taking a picture of the empty pan.

Spent the rest of the afternoon wandering around, and managed to miss the 16.50 bus through not understanding the system. It pulled in behind a Fuengirola bus which was loading, with another 50 or so people at the bus stop waiting for the next bus. I had anticipated the Coin bus would stop at the bus stop for people to board, but instead it followed the Fuengirola bus as it pulled out without stopping. It transpired the other people were waiting for a BenalMadena bus back to the Costa……very irritating.

No option but to wait for the last bus @ 19.35…bought a Mail to catch up on the Madeleine story developments, and had an expensive omelette and chips.

Back home, phoned J from the locutorio and went to a bar to watch Barcelona play Lyonaisse….good match winning 2-0. Brief catch up on e mails and back home. Someone knocked on door about 11pm bring round some bill from the Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) for 91 €…..need to follow up.
