"Unlike Palma de Majorca, which, by early summer, is already packed with vacationers from Germany and Britain, Minorca was still waking from its off-season slumber. At times, we couldn’t help but feel a bit like interlopers. While people we met — hoteliers, restaurateurs, shopkeepers, shoemakers, dairy farmers — were certainly friendly, there was a protective feel to Minorca, a reticence, which, for us, ultimately resulted in a deeply authentic travel experience. It was clear that this was not a place that was preening itself for tourists..."
Salmorejo
Salmorejo is a cream consisting of tomato and bread, originating in Cordoba (Andalucia) in the south of Spain. It is made from tomatoes, bread, oil, garlic and vinegar. Normally, the tomatoes are skinned and then puréed with the other ingredients. The soup is served cold and garnished with diced Spanish Serrano ham and diced hard-boiled eggs. ¡¡Delicioso!!

It's been quite a long time they changed the original name for the Fashion Week in Madrid: Pasarela Cibeles, to the name of the promoter, Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.
Still, people would refer to it as "La pasarela Cibeles". I like this name better. La pasarela Cibeles starts this week in Madrid. |
