El Sombrero isn't the kind of town to spend a lot of time in, but if you stop to eat, it's worth a walk around before continuing onward. the old authentic colonial architecture and construction, some of it falling, gave me these images...

We discovered this wonderful restaurant with an inner garden plaza and the stuffed head of a bull hanging on one wall. The restaurant offered the blood sausages, and various cuts of beef, pork, and chicken, served on a wooden plate or plancha. The place was quite busy for lunch, with local businessmen and anyone in town with sufficient money to eat there. The price was not as rock bottom as our motel accomodations.

Favorite Dish: I like the blood sausage, or morcilla, but it really filled me up. So, I had to ordered a doble maron, or double espresso with cream.
