You pass through innumerable small villages. In all but the smallest there is at least one fountain and a bar where you can get a bocadillo - the ubiquitous long crusty roll with a filling of ham or cheese or tortilla (cold Spanish omlette with potato and onion, in case you're thinking Mexican) or tortilla frances (hot, freshly made fried beaten egg). If you are lucky, you'll be asked "con tomate?" which means that the bread will be rubbed with tomato - say yes.
