Feliz Ano Novo!
We celebrated the New Year in Portugal with a mix of holiday traditions. Plus, Mary is sharing a recipe for a delicious party dish.
A Bad Day, But a Good Trip
Our trip to Nazaré got off to a rough start, but we saw the world famous waves and enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with new friends.
Impressions of Valencia
Our second stop in Spain was Valencia, a city that captured our imagination before we ever arrived and charmed us once we were there.
A Walk Down Bitter Street
A chance encounter in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona reminded Mike of one of the best parts of traveling.
Impressions of Madrid
During a recent three day visit, we explored the historic center and came away with some distinct impressions of Madrid and its history.
In the Land of the Ninots
At the Museu Faller de Valéncia, we enjoyed looking at ninots saved from the annual Fallas Festival since the 1930’s.
This Cook is Not a Chef
Mary shares two delicious recipes that utilize ingredients we brought back from Spain – saffron and pimentón (paprika).
We Travel To Eat
We travel to eat, and this week we’re in Madrid and Valencia, Spain, sampling some great food and tapas.
A Seafood Feast in Estoril
Our friend Kirsten shares a story about a memorable meal she and her future husband had in Estoril 45 years ago. What a memory!
