Last night was officially the first night of the Festival Merce, a week-long party celebrating the patron saint of the city, Our Lady of Mercy. The week is packed with events and free concerts. Last night wondering the streets we stopped in three different plazas where we experienced a range of music from salsa, cha-cha and even a Canadian hip-hop artist. We went out for an excellent meal of Tapas last night. One of my classmates took us to this little tapa bar on one of the narrow streets of Raval in which we were the only tourists, needless to say the food was authentic, delicious and well priced. Really where can you go in Calgary and get a two bottles of really nice red wine and 6 appetisers for under $25 dollars a person. Obviously the food here in Spain is not to be taken for granted. Tonight we are planning to attend a big DJ show out at the Forum, I hopefully I will have some good photos to post.Saturday, September 22, 2007
