"Historic" Englewood......

....is just down the road from here.  I.e. About 30 miles away.  Historic here is mis-used as per all the towns in S W Florida claiming to be old- they just aren't!  As in most others we've been to, the downtown area of hostoric Englewood comprises a few blocks of buildings, some of which are pre WW2.  It does have a street of individually owned shops - one owned by a woman from Birmingham- where the goods are interesting, eccentric and a nice change from the chains which dominate most shopping here.

We were lucky to choose a Thursday when the town hosts a very impressive farmers' market with local produce and products.  Then we had a tapas ( or tarpars as it's pronounced here) lunch which was pretty authentically Spanish.
