Food and tango! Yummy!

Last sunday I went to Aveiro, a town in Portugal dubbed the Portuguese Venice. It's not nearly as grand as Venice but it has it's share of canals and the funny little boats, moliceiros, which were used to harvest a kind of seaweed that was used for medical purposes.
I went to meet fellow tangologuers RuiySandra, they had organised a dinner at a tapas place, spoke to the owner and asked if they could have an informal milonga. "Fine", he said, "fine", we said.
First, the food. We had tapas, a mix of Portuguese and Spanish ones and drank sangria. It was all very good until someone had to start dancing - we were all quite heavy. But on the other hand it was easy. The atmosphere was very informal between everyone who came around, and the first ones started dancing (it had to be me!) everyone danced the whole night away to a variety of different styles that went through all the tango eras. The service was also very nice and prompt.
I love informal milongas. Especially when they come with good food. Food, drink, tango and friends, sounds good to me!
