Oh breakfast me! Check out that FRESH BAKED gluten free bread! All done in its little bag to prevent contamination. Soft inside, hard crust – just what I needed! I saved half for a sandwich later in the day! So today, after our drive yesterday, we decided, also as it is Sunday and a lot of places are closed, to stay in Tudela today and check out the city. What does that mean in a smaller city? Going for walk and exploring the small streets and alleys – what fun! So we set out with our trusty map from the hotel to check out all the cultural sites that they had for us! First, the main square of town, where we had a spot of lunch (garlic prawns) for me and a beverage for Andrew. Now onto the tour! First walking to the church which had an incredibly detailed side door. Next to the church is City Hall. We saw a beautiful painting in an alleyway and followed it to a very old church, still in use, in a narrow part of time. Now we followed the road to the “Three nations” monument (picture did not work out due to sun) however the plaque, which is in Arabic did! I will get that translated from someone I know! The houses along the streets can be quite colourful and it was very interesting to see all the stairs and ramps next next to them (some quite steep!) in the neighbourhoods. Above town you can see that there is a monument up on high. We now walked towards the river Ebro to check out the bridge over the river and saw a huge bird’s nest with a bird nesting in it! Then we walked back into town, through the town plaza and then through the plaza that the AC Hotel was located on. Later that night we went to dinner at Arts which was actually diagonelly across the plaza from the hotel and sat outside and ate a lovely meal – I had a lovely Burrata (cheese) and greens salad where Andrew had pollo (chicken) tacos (which were not gluten free). We then walked back to the hotel on the plaza and sat outside on our terrace for a nightcap!
