1 My hotel supplied walking map which listed the Hotel Posada de Don Rodrigo as a local dining option. Its non-descript unassuming hole-in-the-wall façade gave no hint as to the how large, intricate, ornate and old the actual building is.
2 I found my way to the dining facilities, that are literally hidden away in the rear corner of site, was seated with an ice cold Gallo cerveza and took in the available surroundings with the varied menu.
3 Alas, I could not make my mind up with so many good-looking options - time to enable my back up plan. I resorted to my usual fall-back position and simply asked for the Chef to choose for me, and hand on heart, I was not disappointed in the slightest.
4 A starter consisting of made-from-scratch asparagus soup with a fresh tomato & chilli salsa picante got the meal going. A stuffed pork Chile Relleno with homemade chicken chorizo sausage, guacamole, rice, bean paste and the best tortillas I've had in a long while.

10 I've learnt a valuable Spanish lesson on the way home from the ol' rubbity-dub tonight - this is NOT a urinal.
I can report however though that the water was shallow ..... and cold.
