After several minutes of inattentiveness, we walked out, only to hear the surly waitress mutter something under her breath.

Small disappointment, a sangria and a Euro pressure!puis tapas euros (correct)and to finish the milk ponpon curled with b rebis (the best of the euros. If the quality is always at the rendezvous, the price has literally exploded and I want to put this on account of the tourist season that tends to swell the rates, hope that well soon in September we will find the Montxo that we love to far more friendly, good hearer salute!!!
