Haro was a very short drive from LaGuardia maybe 20 minutes southwest. The newness and shine was off the city but the people were very down to earth and pleasant. We liked it a lot. We walked, shopped and eased around the parks and narrow streets. Betty bought shoes and picked out the lunch spot of the day. See how our travel always involves eating and drinking. Our sinful behavior occurred at the Mesan Martin café hidden down and around from the city’s main square.
Like most cafés we’ve been to Spain, you enter through the bar area. Mesan Martin café was special. We were the first and it was after 2pm. We ordered from the menu of the day. It’s a two course meal with bottle of wine and desert. We paid about 15 bucks for each of our meals. Each course is a meal in it’s own then you top it off with a substantial desert. As our food was prepared the café filled with patrons and soon there was a buzz about. Service was great and the food was even better. The aromas and tastes of the place still occupy my little memory banks.
It lightly misted through out the day. We walked the old town section of the city. We hiked to the top of the hill for a view of the old church. Each town has one or more. There really were not many tourists in Haro. We spotted another couple. Recognized them by their maps in hand. We sat and waited the mist out while enjoying the regional wine and people . . . .
see ya,
