Another menu that has gone slightly wrong, seen in Puerto del Carmen.
It should read “Tintenfischringe in Backteig” – ie. octopus rings in batter . The German word “Ausbackteig” doesn’t exist, but for me it implies something more like baking a cake than the batter mix that it is meant to be.
I found this video on YouTube. It shows the sights of Sucre, such as the white colonial-style buildings and churches, as well as some of the typical streets. There are children in school uniform, and views of some of the many smaller parks.
Later the video shows an evening scene at the main plaza, as well as walls of tombs in the graveyard.
Finally there is a short recording in a taxi. Here you can see how the car has been modified from right- to left-hand-drive. The speedometer is clearly visible on the right of the car, although the stearing wheel is now on the left.
