The drive was 3.5 hours and that meant we needed a place to stop. At the two hour mark was a tiny town in the mountains, Alhama de Aragon. We pulled over, found a parking place and we started walking. We stopped in to a shop and were offered a shot of vermouth as a greeting. We waved off the hooch but bought some dried venison, chorizo and one giant chocolate bar. The bar was 500 g which is 1.1 pounds of chocolate! Yum. There was a small market on the other side of the creek selling shoes and vegetables. There was a section of road work going on while we walked past and we noticed a guy up in a window on the second floor. We had a pair of binoculars and was watching the road work that was 20 feet away from him. I guess this kind of excitement does not go on that often in this town. We worked out the kinks and jumped back in the car.
This is the town of Alhama de Aragon
The creek
Sample the vermouth or just fill up a gallon jug!
I like the size of the red wine bottles
A tower of strength
We saw this guy watching the roadwork at he base of his building. He wanted a better view by using his binoculars
