Cafe Bar el Mirador, another restaurant in Albaicin, offered a meal well worth it's price. Though the three course menu del dia included only a few choices, all the dishes were highly satisfying. All the groups ate outside on the patio of the restaurant, under the heat of the sun, and the meals offered a refreshing contrast. For the first course, while many of the other groups chose the salad, our valiant group member, Emily McNab, selected the salmorejo, and did not regret her choice. According to Emily, the salmorejo was "amazing!" It was basically the same recipe as we made [in Clase de Cocina], but thicker, and heartier. All in all, a refreshing yet filling start to the meal. Next came the main course, where again, Emily chose the road less traveled with the lomo, or pork, and fries rather than the more popular selection of calamares and fries. This time, her choice may not have been as wise as in her selection of the first course, and Emily found the pork to be slightly overcooked. However, this dish was still quite good and the fries were well prepared. Lastly, the sandia, or watermelon, which was served as the final course, could certainly be called one of the highlights of the entire meal. The watermelon was incredibly fresh and wonderfully ripe, the perfect end to a meal on a hot day.
