Welcome to Noble Blood, a production of I Heart Radio and Grim and Myelt from Aaron

In the hills of Catalonia, the region of Spain to the northeast, close to the border

with France, there's a small town called La Bizba de Mporta.

It's not a frequent stop for most tourists.

The town is quaint, but a little rundown.

A dry riverbed, grassy and derelict, runs through the town center, a place where a weekly

market appears, a few tents and carts, people selling mostly crafts and ceramics.

There's a pub there in town, a restaurant and bar called El Drac, with a large outdoor

seating area that sprawls onto the sidewalk.

According to TripAdvisor Reviews, it's not a bad place to stop for a quick bite or something

to drink.

Trish gave it five stars, and her review she wrote, quote,

"...the restaurant itself is very atmospheric, with original stone walls, open fire, and

well spaced out tables, which I like."

Another user, named Bacclav M, had a slightly less enjoyable experience.

One Star Review complained, quote,

There was no one behind the bar for five minutes.

Despite we have been sitting there and staff was walking around the bar often.

Finally, bartender arrived and made us drinks.

The service staff seemed to be acting without organization.
