Lunch, day two, real time-ish.
I’m glad I made reservations at La Castela, as it was rammed at 1:30 pm.
Sat at the bar, which is my preferred spot when I’m dining solo.
Started with a pincho of anchovies and a caña of Mahou(so darned good)
Then the Almejas Manzanilla, these were the larger ones on display, finished the bread then asked for a spoon to lap up the remaining, luscious juices
Finished off with a 1/2 order of Rabo de Toro, served with boletus and what I think were confit potatoes.
So unctuous and delicious 
There were a few more caña, so no room for dessert, and don’t worry, I walked there and back from my hotel with a stop at Retiro Park.
