There’s a local Greek restaurant called Santorini that we had never tried before. It’s well-rated, so we decided to check it out the other night with Tynan and Elena.
I told San Geraldo and Tynan that it was a 5-minute walk from our apartment. It was 8 minutes. And those whiners had the nerve to complain.
So sue me.
Anyway, they didn’t complain once we were there. Friendly and excellent service. Delicious and authentic dishes. And very affordable prices. The menu includes Spanish dishes, as well. But we stuck with what we were there for and went totally Greek. (Oh, stop it.)

| DOLMADES — STUFFED GRAPE LEAVES. |
 |
| TZATZIKI. (YOGURT, LEMON JUICE, OLIVE OIL, PEPPER DILL, CUCUMBER.) |
 |
| KEBAB WITH TZATZIKI AND RICE (AND SALAD). |
A nearby foursome (I swear it wasn’t us) followed their meal with a flaming drink called Queimada. The drink originates in Galicia (northwestern Spain). (Learn about it here.)
Elena explained the drink to us. She’s from Northern Spain, although quite a long distance from Galicia. But she’s very smart. And she has quite a bit of experience with alcoholic beverages.

| COME ON BABY, LIGHT MY FIRE. (NO FLOWERS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS DRINK.) |
