We stopped in a grocery store that was perched on the edge of the world two days ago. There is a place where Europe runs out of land – called Land’s End (or actually Sagres, Portugal). To be in a place where explorers turned their backs on all the familiar for the unknown – and find one of our (me, the Dr., Best Boy and Shop Girl’s) favorite comfort foods – was a little uncanny.
A little square 3 bite (or 4 if you’re not in a hurry as I was) cupcake / muffin – with the flavor of a lemony pound cake but with the consistency of a well made moist, light cake…with a bit of sugar baked into the top. These little yummies are a dime a dozen in Spain and I was happiest popping the most common grocery store variety into my mouth.
With a great café con leche and a few dozen magdalenas (I didn’t eat that many!) and a view like this…what’s not to love?
