Angela and I took a ride to the mountain village of Norma. Norma is known for its chocolate factory and museum. The chocolate produced in the factory is rated in the top 10 of all chocolates produced in Europe (http://blog.hotelclub.com/7-delicious-chocolate-destinations-in-europe/ & http://www.ifood.tv/blog/the-top-10-chocolate-destinations-of-the-world). The tour of the museum is free. You first begin your tour with a free sample of warm liquid chocolate. The museum provides an interesting history of chocolate and its introduction from the new world to Europe by Columbus. You will also see many old artifacts used in the preparation of chocolate. At the end of the museum is a small store where you may purchase various types, sizes, and shapes of chocolate.
Norma does not offer much else in the way of entertainment. It is interesting to walk the narrow streets and view the houses built on a mountainside. The road up to Norma is narrow and winding. The views are breathtaking.
