As I said earlier, the town is swamped with daytrippers, but when the tour buses leave, it's like a quaint Spanish town. But with one important distinction, which is that 90% of the people living here are English. On our first day we went to a local "tapas" bar, and we were so excited about our first Spanish meal. But the tapas were things like baked potato wedges and fish fingers, with roast beef and spaghetti as more substantial choices. The English owners were nice and chatty, and when we were leaving, Somchai told them that they spoke English very well, surprising the rest of us that Somchai could have mistaken this thoroughly English pub for a local Spanish restaurant.
