Madrid, new job, lack of exercise

Finished up in my old job at the airport, week off, so went for a 3 day break in Madrid, as usual perfect, weather great, sweating on my morning runs, visited all the usual bars and found a couple of new ones.

New job is in town, so no cycling, too far and too dangerous, also need to get a new gym, as the old one was at airport.  Got one sussed out, will aim for mid-next week.

Keeping up food diary, doing reasonable on the meat and a little better on the beer, weight doing OK, Malaga piled it on, but back down to lowest I can remember.

Malaga

So Malaga again, landed early on Sunday, dropped into La Cuevo 1900 for beers and their really lovely pate / bologna / ham with bread free tapas.  Dropped bags at apartment, headed for La Taberna de Faille, cos MES said it was great, but jammers, so went 2 doors down to Restaurante de Sancha, very, very good mixed salad, gambas al pil-pil and calamari, excellent digestifs to finish for free!  Went to a favorite Cortijo de Pete for dinner, San and Jack gushed over the avocado salad and I love the kefta sandwich.  Met owner of Tapeo de Cervantes on way past and booked for Friday.

Monday and Tuesday ate in ham, cheese sandwiches for breakfast, Salad Nicosia for lunch, Monday I fried prawns with tomato and onion salad, Tuesday chicken fajitas with guacamole.  Couple of tapas in dive bars thrown in - all grand.  Heading for Nerja, Thursday, happy!

Exercise going great, running each morning and using the free open air free gyms and a tiny bit of sea swimming
