During Semana Santa in Ponferrada (and in Leon, it seems), all bars serve limonada, a alcoholic drink based on wine (most often red, but some are white) and similar to sangria. It used to be served with a rosco, which is a (sweat) bread crown made with pork fat (raw lard). Given that the Bierzo wine is made exclusively of mencia grapes for the red and godello for the white, the limonada is typically made with those types of wines. We will be preparing our limonada this week end. You can go out all week and judge all the limonadas (beware the head). A special committee does just that amd on good friday the best limonada is announced. <\/p>\n

\n250g lemon
