Florida - Morón de la Frontera

Bar Florida, Moron de la Frontera, Andalucia Province, Spain by Jim Coppens Thursday Mar 6 Our host Rodrigo took us to work with him at Moron Air Base, then took us to Hogar de Pensionistas (retiree center) of Moron de la Frontera at 10 AM. We had delicious strong Spanish cafe con leche, with our Spanish friends Boli and Manolo. We then went to Bar Florida for a few beers and tapas. Bar Florida, on Calle Villaud in Moron was one of our favorite hangouts on Saturday mornings when I lived in Moron 2004-2005. Bar Florida is particularly significant because I am a Floridian. The owner (Fernando) was particularly hospitable to us, and remembered me from 9 years ago. (Moron has very few English speakers). Fernando kept the Cruzcampo beer flowing, along with great free tapas. Boli, an inveterate jokester, kept doing hand tricks, and playing jokes all morning. Fernando brought Jamon Serrano (mountain ham), then Jamon York (American type ham), then Montadito de Lomo (pork sandwiches). Soon we became rather boisterous and loud, so having ate and drank our fill, we paid the bill and started to leave. But Fernando served us one more round of Cruzcampo on the house. After taking several photos we regretfully said our Hasta Luego (see you later) to Fernando and departed Bar Florida for Hogar de Pensionistas.
