When Ryanair changed our departure flight from Torino to Sevilla it was a bit of disappointment that quickly turned in dealignment. We will have another day in Sevilla and we could use that day for visiting the surroundings.
JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA
UGLY DELICIOUS FOOD TOUR
Among many tours that were offered in Seville, we opted for couple of them; the free walking tour, a boat tour and a food tour. Of course. Although we tend to do our own research when it comes to the local foods and ingredients, here and there we pay someone to guide us through the experience of eating. Especially if that experience bears a quite unusual name; like the Ugly delicious food tour.
SEVILLA
Years back, when Debeli and I visited Madrid, I remember someone saying, must have been a friend of a friend, that we should visit Andalusia. He swore there was no better place in Spain when it came to architecture, art or food.
Years passed and that idea was just stuck in the back of my head, until finally, last year I managed to add this Spanish jewel into our trip itinerary.
EATING IN TORINO
Although quite rustic, the cuisine of Piedmont region is very much influenced by the formal French and Austrian Hungarian rule as well as Jewish and peasant culture.
IN GIRO // Capriglio
One of the most memorable Italian trips was the one where we ate our way through Emilia region. On the one-week long trip we went beyond the old boring pack your bag, visit a museum type of trip. I mean, we came back home with a suitcase of mortadela from Bologna. What can I say.
IN GIRO // Barolo
Situated some 60 kilometers south from Capriglio, was our first destination of the day.
LAVAZZA MUSEUM
After a delicious start and a visit to the chocolate works shop, we needed a caffeine boost to continue with our day. The visit to the Lavazza Museum was right on spot.
GUIDO GOBINO FABBRICA DEL CIOCCOLATO
Every November Torino becomes the host of the chocolate festival, CioccolaTO.
Visiting Torino in early October, we missed on this sweet opportunity but we didn’t miss its story and history.
TORINO
My first visit to Torino was back in 2004 with my Italian language teacher and her group of students. Few of us went on a week long trip and we stayed for free in Sermig quarters in Arsenale della Pace, where we met young people from all over Europe and with whom together we ate, slept, hang around and sorted out clothes that were donated for the people in need.
