Tortilla Sarcromonte

The day has been more than perfect with Alhambra in the morning and guitar shops in the after. Although lunch was disappointing in the tourist packed Plaza Neuva, I got great homemade paella at the hostel in the evening. Later Dayna and I decided to climb back up the Albayzin for some more food. I had my mind set on ordering the local special: Tortilla Sacromonte, an omelet filled with mushrooms, onions, asparagus, green peppers, ham and brains. Yes, you read it right, brains. I'm adventurous enough to try everything once. The Chinese always liked to say that you gain what you eat. I already got a huge head but I figured more brain won’t hurt. The omelet was ok after I submerged it in hot sauce. Let’s just say I don’t think I’ll even be ordering it again. I’m totally brained out for the rest of my trip.
