Amuse of salmorejo was outstanding. I think to the liberal use of garlic; I wish I had their recipe. This was not on the menu.

Lamb chops; there is a lot of asparagus on restaurant menus so I imagine they have at least two harvests a year. These were very nice, not as good as those at La Castela in Madrid however.

Sala #1; I did not write down the name of the artist but you can already get an idea of what is to come. The next pics will depict some of my favorite works but there are many, many more and I would have spent a lot more time if I had been alone.
