Le Petit Lyonnaise

Sunday, December 24th, 2006
This might not sound very spanish nor canarian for you, and actually it isn't. Though, i'm gonna post about it anyway since i think it is really worth to mention. I've just arrived from having dinner at a french restaurant and i must say "wow!" It's name, like the posts title, is "Le Petit Lyonnaise" and is located in the "Aparthotel Doñana" in "Patalavaca", which is in the municipality of Mogan, right after "Arguineguin".
