Following my posts on Spanish and Latin American drinks, in this series I’ll talk about Spanish food. In this first post, I’ll recommend four food products that I love. Let’s start with a very Spanish product: olive oil. Puerto de Las Villas Extra Virgin Olive Oil 23310 Mogón, Villacarrillo (Jaén)
Greetings from Salamanca, Spain and welcome to our BLOG.
We've been living in Spain for over 30 years and are looking forward to sharing insights and experiences about our much loved adopted home.
Rather than providing a trot through every city or an exhaustive what to do list when in a place, posts focus on a few of our favourite things. Places to eat, stay, drives, sunsets will feature. Some well known, some secret. And wine, cooking, sport and Spanish treats too.
"I'm calling to tell you that you are going to Salamanca next year on some new EU wheeze called Erasmus. I forgot to pick anyone last term. Going to take the first three I find who speak Spanish. ¿Tú hablas español, no?"
And so I landed in Salamanca and it all began ...
I was nineteen and aboard a train in Germany when a brochure left behind on the seat beside me entitled “Learn Spanish in Spain” caught my eye. It was packed with Spanish schools dotted all over Spain.
One city had a name that was so appealing I said it to myself out loud a few times: Salamanca. And that was that. Just a few weeks later I Ianded up here.
