The one nice thing about being Spain for this is that everyone over fifty actually personally remembers fascism, and even the too-young bartenders presumably have parents that do. So they don’t downplay it, but they say “You can get through.”
My mom studied in Spain in the late sixties or so, and I got to go with her a couple of nights. I don't remember exactly what she said on that summer night standing across the square from a Guardia Civil building, but the message of absolute disgust will never leave me
The little padrone peppers grow really well for us in San José, bet they'd do fine where you've relocated to. Gardeny comforts in strange times are good things.

If you need the lime because you hate the booze then uhhh... DRINK THE DAMNED THING YOU LIKE! It doesn't matter. Booze is booze!
It’s a beautiful city.
Though I am starting to wonder if this coffee liquor really was the smartest idea. Well, one more, to be sure.
I hope you're not vegetarian. If so, please ignore everything I just wrote. But do try a brut cava :)
Enjoy!!
