Lacking fresh milk in the fridge has meant cutting back on one of my favorite mantivities, ie drinking milk from the carton.
Not only are the UHT cartons pretty much impossible to drink from (if you don't believe me, at least poke a hole in the top before you try), but the UHT milk itself tastes kind of disgusting unless you mix it with coffee or some other strong flavor.
So I went to the local milk dispenser machine in Valldoreix yesterday. It's next to the bottled drink store on Rambla del Mossèn Jacint Verdaguer, with a big statue of a cow on top of it... you can't miss it. I opened the milk compartment, held my 1 litre container up to the dispenser and stuck in the matching 1 euro coin. 20 seconds later my container was full. I jumped back into my highly illegally parked car and zoomed home.
It's just too bad that my sister doesn't live here anymore, otherwise I could annoy her with a loud "ahhhhh" after chugging down a couple mouthfuls of cool fresh milk.

It was really hard to resist drinking the milk straight from the bottle as soon as I filled my liter at the dispenser. I even looked side to side to see if anyone would notice, but wasn't brave enough. I forced myself to wait the 5 minutes until I got home. Delish!
Very yummy indeed. It's too bad they don't have the raw organic milk like in France though...
I walked by that same vending machine just yesterday...
Yesterday was the "inauguración" of Valldoreix street market. Bigger than I thought, BTW. Took advantage of being there to try some fresh milk from that same dispenser. Yummie!
Ohh, I didn't know they had one there. But saw one once in Puigcerda. Will have to go check it out.
Just found this site. Too funny. We are Lost in Vallvidrera.
Welcome! We were lost in Vallvidrera the other day trying to find our way back from Tibidabo.
there´s another milk machine at LaViti right here in Sant Cugat =)
