Spain Day 04b-Egyptian Temple and Puerto Rico

 After going to the park we went to Egypt to see a temple. The Temple of Debod was originally just south of the Aswan and built in early 200 BCE and later extended. In 1968, because of the Awan dam construction, Egypt gave it to Spain for its help with relocating the Abu Simbel temples. Because not a lot of Egyptian structures of this size are located outside of Egypt we wanted to see it. We came around sunset for the nice light and were glad we did. Lots of folks, locals and tourists, also enjoy the area around sunset for the great views over the Northern part of Madrid.






Next it was back to Puerto Rico, a great inexpensive place to eat with many dishes to try.We started with a Spanish white rueda wine.


Then onto a hearty soup with egg on bread.


Then Gallacian octopus.


Also sepia (mahogany) fish with salad.


Finally dessert with rice pudding and caramel custard. A great end to a nice walking day.
