dinner in El Saltador, Carboneras

On Friday Roos, one of my handball teammates, came to visit the shelter with a friend of hers. They helped me with the afternoon shift, so giving the dogs food and some cuddles. I gave them a tour of the shelter. I really enjoyed showing them everything and telling them stories about the dogs. They were very enthusiastic and liked the Galgo pups as much as I do.

When we were done feeding the dogs they invited me for dinner at the place they were staying at(Roos' mum's house) in El Saltador, Carboneras. I figured it would be a nice change from the meals I am having here and I really like them, so I was very happy to accept the invitation.
The ride there took about 45 min. Again I was treated to some spectacular views from the mountains.
Carboneras turned out to be quite a big city and very different from Mojacar. A lot less tourists for starters. The house was in El Santador, a very small village. It looked lovely.

The house was incredible. It was old but of course adjusted with modern facilities. You entered the kitchen(very spacious with a old fireplace) which was obviously the most important room in the house.
We had dinner outside on the terrace overlooking the village. A delicious salad with bread and hummus and olives to start with and the main course was home made pizza. Best meal in weeks!!
There were a lot of stray cats walking around. Very sweet and obviously used to people(probably foreigners) feeding them. I just wanted to take them all home with me.

Roos' friends were very nice and funny and very easy to relate to. We drank 2 bottles of red wine so Roos asked me if I would like to stay the night. Slept in the 'barn' as they called it. A spacious room with a separate entrance with a queensize bed. Slept like a baby, :)

At 8am the next morning we left since I had to start working again at 9am. It was a lovely night with great people.
