Wynette. Melóns have been an option on several of our pilgrim’s menus. You get a large slice. Maybe not large enough because they are so delicious. I’m not sure what variety they are. They are just called “melóns” . Above are some we passed in a fruit market in Logroño. Sandías are sometimes an option as well. As everyone from Albuquerque knows, “sandía” means “watermelon”, the old-fashioned red kind. (Albuquerque sits below Sandía Mountain which glows red in the sunset.) Last night we bought a fourth of a sandía and had it for dinner in our albergue kitchen. I think we got the last one in the little grocery store because as we were taking it up to the register to pay I overhead a woman tell her husband with dismay “ay no, no tiene sandías!”
Ummmm, the fruit does look good and it appears you are eating healthy meals – at least some of them! 🙂
It was really good. We got so full eating the watermelon we didn’t have much else for dinner that night.
