As the title suggests, it focuses on hidden corners and lesser-know spots, many of which I’ve never heard of. Very happy to have met another kindred spirit and – I hope – another Tapas Research cohort.

Getting the gang all together for a group photo usually only happens when they’re sleeping or when they want a treat. Here they are impatiently waiting for the asparagus to cool…
