It had already passed midday and being as menu del dia normally starts at 2.00 p.m. we decided to pull into the next town. Upon observing the old rustic buildings we were shocked to see storks nesting on the chimneys and various ancient roofs.
We stopped to take photos and have lunch at the nearest bar. The menu del dia promoted "Migas". We asked "what is migas?" and were told "migas is migas !!"
We have since discovered this is a very old authentic recipe and a truly regional dish. Comprising of strips of belly pork, peppers, onion, chorizo and garlic topped with course stale breadcrumbs and cooked in olive oil.

This combination of simple food, regional wine, nature and historical buildings makes one very humble.
