30 Sun 9/4/18: El Gallo Ronco, Malaga

Beer: Cruzcampo 5.0%

Busy flamenco bar in a small square in the centre of Malaga – extremely busy with the Semana Santa processions just yards away. We’ve just seen the first (of very many) Virgin Mary manhandled down the street on her excruciatingly slow progress to the cathedral… and we’re finding it excruciatingly difficult to get served in this bar. We manage it eventually – but the staff seem to be working frantically, even when the numbers in the bar start dropping away.

The place is full of quite big pictures of folk overcome in various states of dress and/or duende. One, I suggest to Steph, looks like Bob Dylan (circa mid-70’s). She doesn’t particularly agree… I didn’t take a photo…

We leave the bar a bit miffed. I’d possibly have liked to stay a little longer, but we weren’t getting served. Made me miss low-season a bit… a sentiment increasingly reinforced as the holiday went on.
