Working on a Mexican food stand.......
... to be entertained.
Our day to day life was great although hard work but the shifts became something you looked forward to as the people were so much fun to work with plus the constantly flowing beer and tequila made it highly entertaining!

We plan to take a taxi the next day to bring us up to the top of Torre (return trip 20 EUR) for a hike. It is cool up there and we enjoy the distant view as much as the relaxation for our butts.
Recommendation: Marisqueria "A Tareira" - "Arroz a Mariscos en Tamboril" for 20 EUR
