I started the week in Wroc\u00c5\u201aaw, my flight home to Alicante was on Monday afternoon. I decided to use the morning to explore a neighbourhood called Nadodrze (literally: “above the Odra river”). I had read that there were interesting murals to explore there, and I had never visited that neighbourhood before.<\/p>\n

\nI was not disappointed. Nadodrze had the vibe of a working class neighbourhood being inflitrated by artists and various “alternative” types. And indeed there were lots of murals:

\n\"DSF2434\"<\/p>\n

38_3<\/strong>
\nThe most striking was this mosaic mural, with the tiles made by different local artists:
\n\"DSF2425\"<\/p>\n

\n\"DSF2427\"<\/p>\n

38_5<\/strong>
\nAn artistic backyard:

\nHaving read “100 Years of Solitude” by Gabriel Garc\u00c3\u00ada M\u00c3\u00a1rquez earlier this year, I was struck by the name of this caf\u00c3\u00a9:
\n\"DSF2450\"<\/p>\n

\nSkateboarder:

\nThe flood danger having passed, the first signs of return to normality:
\n\"DSF2460\"<\/p>\n

38_10<\/strong>
\nNot quite the Last Supper, but the last lunch with my sister and brother-in-law during this visit:
\n\"DSF2464\"<\/p>\n

38_11<\/strong>
\nBack in Alicante, on Tuesday evening we had a meeting of our book club. The book of the month was “De Aanslag” (“The Assault”) by Dutch writer Harry Mulisch. As always, Eri came well prepared and had a lot to say about the book and how she experienced it:
\n\"DSF2475\"<\/p>\n

38_12<\/strong>
\n\"DSF2474\"<\/p>\n

38_13<\/strong>
\nMy Dutch colleague Harrie who had selected the book:
\n\"DSF2473\"<\/p>\n

38_14<\/strong>
\nMy Finnish colleague Kari:
\n\"DSF2476\"<\/p>\n

38_15<\/strong>
\nOn Friday, our small mens group “Les 8 Salopards” (loosely translated from the French: “The 8 assholes”) had our monthly lunch. This time it was my turn to choose the place, and I had chosen Hostal Maruja on the beach:
\n\"DSF2480\"<\/p>\n

38_16<\/strong>
\nRoberto and Christian, studying the menu:
\n\"DSF2477\"<\/p>\n

38_17<\/strong>
\nThe neighbouring table:
\n\"DSF2478\"<\/p>\n

38_18<\/strong>
\nOur main dish, arroz de marisco<\/em>, has arrived:
\n\"DSF2481\"<\/p>\n

38_19<\/strong>
\nI finish with an important event in my culinary education. I have long wanted to try surstr\u00c3\u00b6mming<\/a>, a Swedish specialty which is basically a small herring fermented under controlled circumstances. It is one of the most stinky foods in the world and cannot be eaten indoors. A Swedish colleague brought me a tin from Stockholm, and I set up my sensory experience on my back terrace:
\n\"R000517\"<\/p>\n

38_20<\/strong>
\nI opened the tin and contemplated the slime and the stench:
\n\"R000519\"<\/p>\n

38_21<\/strong>
\nReady to eat, served on a special crispbread on top of boiled potatos, and topped with red onion. Definitely an acquired taste:
