Yesterday's anniversary meal ... we started with olives, manzanilla Gabriella, and taquitos de merluza. Followed it up with cocquetel de marisco, and churrasco ibérico and a nice joven Rioja (unoaked).
The north tower of the Plaza de España which is across the river from our apartment ... 830 metres as the crow flies. We can see it clearly from our balcony although it is currently somewhat obscured by a construction crane 🙁
Part of Thursday's lunch at La Maceta. Not pictured - bacalao plancha and paella.
We had lunch at Bar La Brasa yesterday, a small establishment that we discovered last year. It has now become part of our regular lunch rotation. Pictured is an alcachofa rellena
We've been hearing robins outside our apartment the last week or so. Apparently northern European robins winter down here, which is understandable 🙂
Not something you'd see in Cornwall today
Our back patio right now. Last year on this day all the snow was gone!
Down at our local (Bar Santa Maria) for lunch today where we had some very nice pinchito de pollo. Three guys work the place ... Miguel, Luís and Antonio. Miguel is a Sevilla fan, while the other two support Betís.

Sevilla is at home to Mallorca tonight and as soon as we mentioned the match, Miguel suggested that Cyle Larin (Canadian international playing for Mallorca) would score a propria (own goal) to help Sevilla! Always fun to chit-chat (as best we can) with them 🙂
The birthday boy 😊 ¡Feliz cumpleaños! my darling 😘

Our dearest friend has been gone for a year. We have honoured her memory with a lunch she would have enjoyed in a restaurant she would have liked in a city that she called home for a while. Followed by her favourite sweet treat for dessert. Miss you always Suzanne.
