A Coruña in one day

Bueno todos, next on the journey was A Coruña.  This little gem of a city is at the northwestern tip of Spain.  I will summarize by saying seafood, Maria Pita, and David Bisbal.  So, we got here at about midnight on Sunday meaning we had just one complete day to see and eat our way through the town.  Unfortunately for Chris, this was a town who knows it's seafood.  But fortunately for him we discovered El Rey de Jamon or The Ham King.  Really, this was the name of the restaurant.  After checking out the Tower of Hercules for a good part of the morning and then me completely forgetting to catalogue lunch, we made our way to la Plaza de Maria Pita who famously put the smackdown on Sir Francis Drake.  Here we discovered large speakers set up and the makings of some goings on.  Diana decided to ask about this and we were treated to the knowledge that we happened upon the city on the first day of la Fiesta de Maria Pita!  Que suerte chicos!  We also gleaned that David Bisbal himself would play a free concert that very night on the beach!  Win!  But before that happened, we had to eat!

I told you!  I told you about the ham!  This was some amazing jamon Iberico.  Served up at El Rey de Jamon.  We also grabbed a plate of Manchego cheese and Queso de Tetilla.  No word of a lie, that is what it's called.

We moved on from the Ham King and over to a little seafood place where we had some tasty Razor Clams and this giant scallop called a Vieira.  Covered in a tomato sauce, this was pretty tasty and is the symbol of el Camino de Santiago.  After all the eating, a trip back to the hotel and then off to the beach for Bisbal and beers that come served in plastic cups...liter sized!  Gracias Maria Pita!  Gracias A Coruña!
