Are there meth labs in Tomolloso?
... us out, but I'm glad when we find the vineyard is either closed or closed down, it's kind of hard to tell in this back end of the town, however I think the local meth lab is across the street. Which might actually explain why the cellar door has closed, too much competition! I'm quite happy when we get out of there and go find a cafe to have something to eat.

Tilting at Consuegra
... and Sancha Panza dolls and toys. It's all in fun though, which is in keeping with the spirit of Cervantes’ tale.
The highlight of the day was a couple of hours in the small town of Consuegra. The town is pretty enough on its own, but it also happens to have a hilltop castille of the 11th century which is flanked by about 8 traditional old windmills. One of the windmills was open as a museum, and had all of ...
