I went to a well recommended, basic local bar. Inside there were 4 men at the bar, a pool table covered with a board and one table. Hmm. Oh well, I thought I might as well have a glass of wine. I tried to do the Australian thing of paying for the drink when you order, which was waved away by the owner with hand gestures indicting there's plenty of time for that later. I took a seat outside and eventually managed to order some olives and cheese. So many olives! So delicious. He patiently explained each of the cheeses to me, in Spanish. I had three glasses of wine, which was actually four and a half as he kept topping up to 'finish off the little left in the bottle". I had a mild heart attack with the bill as it looked like 76 Euros, but was in fact 16.
