For a Birthday walk as she was 10 years old today. The clock on the pharmacy still said it was 30C but a cool breeze was blowing down the main street and it felt pleasant.
I decided to stop for an orxata – the delicious drink made from tiger nuts, water and sugar.
But I didn’t stop at that, I ordered a cubano which is a glass of orxata with a large dollop of ice cream inside. Usually I have vanilla ice cream but tonight I wanted coconut
It came with a straw which had a little spoon attached at the bottom, so you can alternate between drinking and eating
I’m afraid I then ordered another – exactly the same. Well it is Summer Solstice.

Ohhh! I didn’t know about the cubanos…that’s enticing.
Lovely to see you today!

I think I want a cubano next time! 🙂 Orxata is so good, I had never seen or heard about it before here in Spain.
Feel very free to link to my San Juan-post! xx
The cubano sounds delicious, although I don’t know what orxata is, but coconut ice cream sounds divine! Happy Solstice a few days late!

Mmmmmmm lovely – I remember the delicious orxata we had in Barcelona. Next time I want to try a cubano in Granollers! x
Everyone! Do come and have a cubano here in Granollers! It is one of the great pleasures of summer.
You can buy it to takeaway and drink at home but to me part of the magic is sitting in the street and watching the people go by.
