So I can’t figure out if this is meant to be a global unifying message or if the people who put this together really think Antarctic Emperor penguins live with Arctic Eskimos.

antequera getaway 2016

This will just be a short getaway, and it came about just by chance when I saw this poster on Manni’s Instagram announcing a special Menú Cervantes at Arte de Cozina. Soon plans were made for a few of us to meet up, which has now ended up with 10 for lunch tomorrow!
I’m leaving this morning because I haven’t been to Antequera for awhile (in fact, over two years!) and thought it would be nice to spend some time there. I was actually going to spend two nights but the weather forecast for this weekend is solid RAIN, and my friends Angela & Mikel are going to be away, so it’ll just be for tonight and I’ll catch the train back home after lunch tomorrow. Right, gotta go catch my train!
the fox and the grapes

There’s a new wine shop in town, very dangerously located about a three-minute walk from my house. Welcome Lama La Uva and its founder Ana Linares, whose idea is to help us reach all the good grapes (unlike the fox from the fable), so no sour grapes for us.
I was invited to the opening this week and went along with @SVQconcierge and @JetslikeTaxis. It’s a small attractive space, with the shop downstairs and the tasting room above on a mezzanine. Along with the wines you can also purchase quality food items, and there will also be some wines available to try before you buy. Have to say that Plaza Regina is fast becoming one of the hippest places in town.
finos palmas 2016

It was my first Finos Palmas tasting since 2013, so I was pretty excited when I got an invitation to this year’s special event in Sevilla, which was held in the exquisite Palacio de las Dueñas. Read all about it (and see more pics!) over here on Azahar’s Sevilla…

Another menu tasting invitation this week – this time at the always fabulous La Azotea (I was invited to their Santa Cruz location, aka The Office). As I had a day off on Tuesday it seemed like a good opportunity to drop by and try some of the new dishes on their updated seasonal menu. As you can see… it was all delish.
- Delicious amuse of ajo blanco with mango, mojama and basil oil
- Avocado and tomato salad with pancetta, miso & pipirrana vinaigrette
- Spiced roasted chicken salad with honey mustard vinaigrette
- Ortiguilla (sea anemone) mousse with passion fruit chutney and seaweed mayo
- Hake en papillote (wrapped & unveiled) with vegetables and lemon infused olive oil
- Confit cod with black trumpet mushrooms and SOBRASADA POTATOES
- Steak tartare with green apple slush and spicy herb mustard
- Oxtail meatball with mushroom duxelles, cauliflower and carrot cream
