Eldership 2025 Spain - Chilling At Elderbase Campello

We are in total chill mode at the moment here at Elderbase Campello. There hasn't been a desire to do much of anything. We've been getting into a routine of doing our walks (me in the early morning, Wife in the late afternoon). There may be some errands during the day. I make breakfast and most of the time our late afternoon dinner. We both have projects of various kinds that we are working on the same as if we were back in Albuquerque. And we are totally soaking up the ambiance of this place that is the first we've ever found we want to come back to. 

 And the sunsets and the sunrises are as spectacular as ever. Serious, there is hardly a day when you breath isn't taken away. I will discipline myself to not post a billion pictures while here.

 

The Joys of the Menu del Dia

I have written so much about these. But there is a place I mentioned back in 2023, Bar Restaurant Lami. It was closed when we were here in 2024. I was anxious to get back. Most times a menu del dia is three courses - a first, a main, and a dessert or coffee for the third. BRL adds a fourth course, a soup as well. And the food is solid. Not always spectacular but solid. And the MdD includes a drink as well. So we had our four courses, a class of soda and wine and walked out paying $30 total.

Forgot to take a picture of the soup which was a cold tomato soup thickened with bread.

But the next courses were

Mussels

 

 And a chicken salad that looks like Ensaladilla Rusa but has orange and carrots in it and no potatoes.

 

Wife had a lasagna

 

 While I had roast chicken with orange sauce

 

 Wife had ice cream and I had a coffee. Seriously, I can only do this one or two times while we are here or I'd turn into a blimp!
