It's like we are empty nesters now- our 17th and 18th guest for the season have departed and we are off on a few trips before we have out last guest of the 24'15 season. Cousin Oscar is headed here April 26- May 2. Meanwhile we are doing things like hitting our less edgy places. Last night pizza and chianti at La Piemontesa and tonight tortilla and other tapas at a bar nearby callled Casa Juan Paloma.
Tuesday rolled around and Phil's class met for the last session before we go to Daylight Saving Time in Europe so we took advantage of the fact that it ended a 8:30 instead of 9:30 and went to Casa Juan Paloma. We had our favorite traditional Spanish tortilla. And several other worthy courses. Originally recommended by Frank Patterson we first ate here shortly after he embarked for a Morocco and Tunisia segment of his late fall 2024 travels. We get here as often as weather and schedule allows. Good Arroz, excellent smoked tuna toasts, carpaccio of shrimp, and anchovies but the tortilla is to my mind the model of what this dish should be (including the onions!)
and then a dinner at Dos de Mayo-
and the walk home-
after a night at home - we had chicken tortilla soup and salad along with a lot of snacky items that needed to be cleared from the frig- we returned to dining out- at Casapuerta
today was a gorgeous day with blue sky and sunshine-
tomorrow we are off to Cádiz - and Sunday we will see Todd & Evie! so more ot follow!
