Malaga is not a not just sweet wine and raisins flavored ice cream that I just adore, it’s a second largest city in Spanish province of Andalusia and it was our next to last leg of the Italian – Spanish holidays in 2023.
MALAGA
EATING IN CORDOBA
The gastronomic offer of Cordoba is no different that classical Spanish food offer in other cities that we visited. There is abundance of small tapas bars where lunch or dinner is served and there are quite a number of upscale restaurants offering a different intake on the traditional Southern Spanish ingredients.
We have tasted all!
CORDOBA
After almost a full week in Sevilla, our next destination was Cordoba.
We arrived early in the day, with no pressure at all. Cordoba is just an hour train ride with from Sevilla so having in mind our early check in to the apartment we had plenty of time to arrive to the train station, walk around a park in Cordoba, have a snack, walk the streets for the M nap and even get some groceries along the way.
EATING IN SEVILLA
If you ever traveled to Spain, it was hard to miss all present tapas portions of food. Sometimes served as a full dish portion, but mostly smaller portions of many and various tapas dishes have marked Spanish cuisine. It was no different with Andalusian cuisine that we enjoyed during the visit to the cities of Sevilla, Cordoba and Malaga.
JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA
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.
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.
