Thanks Las!
What's the drink of choice over there?

Wine/Sangria for the most part, Beer is not too bad either. You can get a decent Rioja region red like Campo Viejo (LCBO $12-$14) for about 4-5 Euros, IIRC. Booze is available in every corner grocery store 

Wine & Sangria are definitely the top drinks of choice over there.  I LOVE Spanish sangria!!  I got this recipe from a bartender in Sevilla and make it very frequently in the summer months.   

1 bottle of red wine
1 shot of brandy
1 shot of triple sec
1 shot of Porto wine
1 shot of Martini Rosso
1 apple, thinly sliced
1 lemon, thinly sliced
1 orange, thinly sliced
1 quart of orange juice
1/2 cup of 7-Up
3 cinnamon sticks

Trouble with Sangria is that it doesn't taste alcoholic.  Which in Euroland ( or Ontario) with the 50 ml dui restriction can get you into trouble before you realize it.

That looks like a good recipe. I presume that by Porto wine you mean Port ?
