Lots of little stalls
Including a man selling corn on the cob (not quite sure what he is doing with the hairdryer!)
This then went into the area which they were just setting up for the Moors and Christians Encampment
The Huertos de Malecon area was all set up, with lots of little places to eat
And a jazz band playing
A quick Mojito in the Cuban stall
And we made our way into the area set up with all the food and wine stalls
You go to the little stall selling tickets and for 9 euros you get a tray with a wine glass and some containers. You get a voucher for
3 tapas
3 glasses of wine
1 beer
1 vermouth
1 joker (ie you can use this for 1 of any of the above)
1 scratchcard (where you can win bottles of wine ect..)
You then make you way around the stalls and choose and plough your way through whichever wine takes your fancy
or tapa
or maybe some delicious cheeses? These were MONTESINOS cheeses.
It was all incredibly delicious and great fun, but one stall and wine sticks out and it was the BODEGAS JUAN GIL there wine was just sublime, so much so we had another glass!
The gentleman on the right is Antonio Caravaca (the comercial director of Bodegas Juan Gil) and the wine is their 12 month old - 2008.
You must try it, this is there webpage http://www.juangil.es/ing/index.htm
All in all a great evening, I could not reccomend this event highly enough. It is running until 13th September
Its so easy to find, just head up to Murcia, then take the turning to the Cathedral and its just there on your right.
