Sevillian Gastronomy

I was in Seville during the Festival De Las Naci Nes, an annual arts, cultural and gastronomical extravaganza held along the Guadalquivir river. Food, music and arts from Colombia, Cuba, Greece, Germany, Jamaica, Ecuador, India, Mexico, France, Peru, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, along with many other countries were represented. I had food typical of Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, France, Peru and Argentina. It would be fair to say that I ate enough food for a week in my 3 days in Seville. Check out the photos below. Yum!

Argentinian Steak. Need I say more?
Typical Spanish breakfast. Cafe con Leche (espresso w/ whole mike), pan (bread) w/ Jamon (ham).
Argentinian sausage - amazing
Cuban spiced chicken and beef with killer sauce.
Salmorejo, a very typical dish of Seville.
French crepe. "The Exotic": Chicken, nata, cheese and pineapple. Loved the mix of flavors.

Seville Street Art

The street art in Seville was very impressive. It was mostly concentrated around the Guadalquivir river area. Below are a few of the many photos that can be found on my Flickr page. Other Seville photos to follow.

Isle of Ibiza

I arrived just a few hours ago and I'm leave for Ibiza in 4 hours. Just two quick days of craziness. I'll be back in Barcelona on Friday afternoon. See ya'll then.

**UPDATE**: I changed my flight to leave tonight at 22:30 and I now return late Saturday night. 4 days, 3 nights allows for more time to relax, party and maybe get in some trouble.

In Seville...

...and really enjoying it. Unlike Barcelona, Seville exudes everything Spanish. At the same time, I´m instantly transported back to Lisbon as I wander the narrow streets lined with mouth watering tapa bars and fun shops. The architecture is similar and the same colors are used. It´s absolutely stunning.

My initial impressions...

  • hot, hot hot. try 98F or 38 C.
  • relatively inexpensive. the more that I travel outside Barcelona the more I realize how expensive Barcelona is. Apparently it is the most expensive in Spain. lunch was amazing paella, fried calarmi, beer and a water. 6 euro.
  • extremely friendly locals

Photos and more info later.
