There are giant stones everywhere. Very cool! This starcase leads to a parking lot. We got lucky and parked right in front of the hotel.

Spanish pizza
We were so tired we ordered room service. We ordered pizza. After a long conversation about "Hake" and then a call back to tell them NOT to put Hake on the pizza (it's fish), we finally got our pizza. I wouldn't really call it pizza but we were really hungry.
