El Sol de Media Noche

located on a road with a bunch of little mom and pop shops, lots of restaurants, wine tasting rooms and street vendors. we only knew of this place because it was recommended to us by the our B&B host.
when we arrived on a saturday afternoon, this place was packed… mostly with women. we walked in feeling a little overwhelmed but then we were greeted by a nice older lady who started speaking spanish to us but when she realized we didn’t speak spanish, she then asked if we were interested in wine, cheese and bread tasting. once we smiled and excitedly replied «YES!», she directed us to one of the counters where a nice young lady named Jorleny proceeded to assist us with the tasting. she apologized for her bad english which was actually much better than she thinks. we never once had an issue understanding what she was saying. she brought out two trays of cheeses, a small salad with a sample of their dressing, a basket with a variety of breads, a whole line of jams and sauces and our glasses of wine. Jorleny explained all the different items we were tasting and waited on us the entire time, answering any questions we had and even offered us more if we wanted it.
after filling our tummies with so much deliciousness, we were ready to pay when she says «there’s one more surprise» and walks off for about 2 minutes and comes back with a caramel filled empanada for dessert! OMG, i was seriously so full by the time we left. everything was so good. after the last bite of the empanada, we were ready to pay and asked her how much the tasting was. When she replied «it’s free», i thought she finally misused an english word to respond back but she restated again. so naturally, we left her a good chunk of tip in her tip jar.
although we didn’t buy any of the items we tasted, i did buy a little souvenir box to bring back home. the experience is absolutely worth bringing back some friends for!
