Do we smell or something?

Malaga

We decided to have a quiet day today and used much of it to plan the week of sightseeing we would leave for in about 10 days. 

After coffee we stopped at a bakery to buy some bread for lunch, however we didn't have much success as the three ladies behind the counter appeared to go out of their way to avoid serving us. When we spoke up we were loudly berated for about 30 seconds for whatever it was we had done wrong. Perhaps this is what discrimination feels like, as it seemed obvious that we were not welcome as customers in the store. We left and found another bakery around the corner where we were treated pleasantly. 

We understand that everyone is not happy about all the tourists in Málaga but the shop is in the tourist area so it was all very strange and we can't fathom what there is to gain from being unpleasant to someone who just wants to buy some bread! Needless to say we will never buy anything from any La Canasta store in Malaga (or elsewhere).

That evening we dined at a Spanish restaurant where M tried the local Malaga specialty of Rabo de toro (oxtail). Chips was the last thing he expected it to be served on but of course he was happy about it anyway!
