It’s called choripán, basically chorizo in a roll . Too much bread for me but great with mustard or with chimichurri.  Warning at the hostel .  Lots of old cars about . It’s quite a charming but lots couldn’t start , battery or spark plugs .  It’s a statue outside a shop I think meant to represent t...
