quentin amoreena (1)

Say hola to Amoreena @amyalena and Quentin from Texas. I was out for lunch with my friend Eduardo @EBlancoTravel and these two were sitting a couple of tables over. We ended up chatting and were having such a nice time that we also ended up going out to bar Las Teresas for cava afterwards. I gave Q & A some tips on where to have tapas on their last night in town and they had a great time going back to Teresas for jamón and then over to Bodeguita Romero for – what else? – their famous pringá (and a few other things). Lovely meeting new friends over good food and wine.

Of course Edu and I foolishly went on for more cava afterwards… #deperdidosalrio

breakfast of champions

I’ve popped into the wonderfully cluttered La Recova many times but this was the first time I stopped in to eat. According to Victor @welovemalaga they serve an amazing breakfast so we chose to go there for our regular Tuesday morning We Love Tapas @welovetapastour meeting. We usually do this by Skype, so it was great to actually meet up in person and, well, have this amazing breakfast.

For a whopping 2.20€ you get coffee or tea, a thick slice of toasted country bread, and a whole whack of toppings: olive oil, butter, fresh tomatoes, peach jam, banana spread, sobrasada, two zurrapas (chicharrones and pork loin & pimentón) and paté. All served with a smile. We’re doing more breakfast research this week, but this one is going to be hard to beat.

Someone stop me! I’ve just bought more luggage. Well, the summer sales have just kicked in and so, well, why not eh? But seriously, after this I am all luggaged up. Anyhow, remember when I splashed out on that fab Kipling dufflebag for my London trip in May? Well, this is the smaller non-duffle carry-on version, but in purple. I almost went for the same colour as the duffle, but then thought matching luggage was going a bit too far. Except that I also bought this matching overnight case that slips onto the suitcase handle…

Anna @annalibera is going to scoff because she had actually convinced me that the little case was too expensive and not worth it. But then I realised it could actually double as a handbag if I am going somewhere for the day and wanted to carry some extra stuff with me… AND it was 30% off!  Yeah, yeah… I know. Stopping now.
