Monforte de Lemos

For dinner last (a very hot night), I walked down to La Fabrica, the no.2 restaurant on Trip Advisor. No-one spoke English so I took a while translating the menu on Google T. In the end I chose a tomatoes and goats cheese salad, followed by grilled octopus. I also had a glass of local white wine called Godello.

As the portions were large, I asked for a doggy bag and it’s now in my minibar for consumption today.

Today, Thursday, there has been a dramatic change in the weather. It was completely overcast and only 14 degrees at lunchtime. I took a taxi up the hill to the Parador, built on the site of a monastery and stronghold of the Counts of Lemos. The Parador is a neo classical building and not to my taste.
