Typical tapas

A few days ago we enjoyed a couple of cups of café con leche, frothy milky coffee, and tapas at the Café Columbus, in the Calle Mayor in Cartagena.

The café makes its own excellent potato chips, or crisps to the British, and these are well worth trying.

From the range of tasty tapas on the bar we chose baby new potatoes in alioli, which is a sauce made of pounded garlic and olive oil, and goats cheese overlaid with anchovies, served with fresh bread.

Beer and chips are best

More than 90 per cent of the passengers who pass through Murcia´s San Javier airport are British. This is recognised in the signage of the café near to the check in desks.

Visitors will look in vain for Spanish specialities, instead beer, choc bars and chips are proudly on offer. Satisfied passengers consume vast quantities of all of them.
