Quick Dinner at the Historic City of Toledo

A Plateful of Chorizos at the Historic City of Toledo

I really feel bad about the fact that I was forced to buy a return train ticket up front as it seems that it is not recommended to just show up at the train station and purchase a ticket. It seems that all seats are guaranteed, which means, there is no standing, which also means that there are a limited number of seats available per train. It is good that there are a lot of trains going the same way, I think it was every hour but I still can’t risk that I won’t be able to get back to Madrid that night. I reluctantly purchased a return ticket knowing that my schedule for touring the Historic City of Toledo will be not optimal. True enough, when it was two hours before the train leaves, I decided I would be having an early dinner there at the historic town.

Large and Hard Piece of Bread to go with the Chorizo

Large and Hard Piece of Bread to go with the Chorizo

I found this quaint little restaurant. There were no customers there yet, since it was still late afternoon. There was a lone staff there who did her best to understand me and I understand her. My usual one word Spanish sentences seemed to have done the trick as I got my order. I ordered one of Spain’s more well known deli’s the chorizo, which is Spanish sausage. There were selling them all over the place here but I never got to try it. I got a whole plateful of them and one bread. I still haven’t gotten used to having bread as a meal but that is something very common here. I do not know if it is because of economic reasons or it is just how people really eat. Or maybe I was just looking for rice. Anyway, the chorizos surprisingly large as I was used to chorizos which are the width of normal hotdogs. It was nice and fatty and it gives out a lot of flavor as most sausages do. It was a rather strange meal if I say so myself. I think I should have just gotten the sandwich instead of this. Anyway, I was spending the rest of the time watching a local telenovela and drinking my small glass of Mahou beer.
