After my earlier blog, my family and I decided to book it to lunch. It was yet another delicious meal, and I feel that Beatrice possibly held out on all the awesome places to eat to make our final days here in Spain more delicious. I think that might have been stupid of her, but there’s not a lot I can change about that.
In Alamore, there is a beautiful theatre full of wonderful traditions. It was built in the sixteenth century, and restored in the 1970’s. It was an open ceiling theatre, which is such an interesting concept. It had three levels, and was filled with secrets and mysteries hat are so fascinating its difficult to take in. On the second level, in the piece that faces the stage directly, it’s called a ‘cooking pot’. Only women were allowed to sit there, and it was referred to as the cooking pot because of how women were known to cook up their gossip throughout the plays. I would do anything to go into an era like that.
We then went to the lace shop, which was fascinating.
As we were walking back to the car, we all noticed that the drainpipes had the most curious attachments, animals. The drainpipes were made to look like animals! Dragons, snakes, lions…the list is endless. They were quite clever.
