Friends in the south of Spain

A little history

 This week my friend (from Michigan via Chicago) Jenna and her husband Mikael came to Seville for a visit while they were traveling through Italy and Spain. It was wonderful to see one of my oldest friends and be able to spend some real quality time together as it has been years since we coincided for more than a wedding or quick get-together. When we were explaining to our husbands how we had actually met and became friends we figured out though we began to go to school together in the sixth grade, we have known each other for several years longer via a mutual friend. It is wonderful to be able to catch up with someone who you share so much history with, someone you basically grew up with.
We share a matching tattoo with two other friends, Kim and Claire
Visiting Sevilla and Portugal

 Jenna and Mikael are really laidback travels and were fun to have as visitors. They let us plan our days together and we did some light sightseeing but mostly focused on taking them places to eat since they are foodies. Our first day was spent in the Alcazar (Sevilla´s royal palace). Because it has been so hot we came back for some pool time in the afternoon before heading back out to walk around the city in the evening when it had cooled off. 


Next we headed to Portugal and the beach. We spent two days in the sun, enjoying some cold beers and relaxing.


Then we had a final day visiting the Cathedral and city center.

It was a bummer to say goodbye to our friends and we hope they had a good time with us. We would love to have them back again someday!

    As a general rule I'm not overly fond of tattoos but those matching hearts are adorable.

      Thank you. They are pretty unoffensive for something we decided to do on somewhat of a whim at 18 years old. I often think they could have been much worse!

La mesa camilla

Image
The mesa camilla is a very Spanish invention (in fact I believe it to be a very southernly Spanish invention). It consists of a table, a heater and a heavy, long tablecloth-like fabric that drapes over the sides. The idea is that you put the heater under the table and when you sit down you put the fabric over you like a blanket. The truth is that it does keep you quite warm. The downside is that once you get up and move, you lose the heat. Since the houses and apartments here in the south of Spain are not created for the cold (no central heating) a mesa camilla can be found almost every where.  We didn't have one last year and survived with blankets, space heaters and flannel pajamas throughout the winter. This year Jose decided we needed to get a mesa camilla. I fought the good fight (since often times they look very similar to the option in the picture above) but we ended up ordering one not too long ago.  Typically the mesa camilla is made of wood and can be stored throu

Simple Spanish recipe: Chipirones a la plancha

Image
Ok so I know this picture is a bit blurry and I apologize but it is the final result of my having cooked chipirones a la plancha for the first time. Let me explain, chipirones are small squid and a la plancha means grilled. They are served in an olive oil, parsley and garlic sauce. At first I wasn't sold on the idea of this recipe but believe me, it is pretty awesome and super healthy. It is a really typical tapa that you can order at almost any bar here in the south of Spain. Chipirones a la plancha is usually served on a bed of lettuce or with a small side salad. Yum! Here's the how: First you need the chipirones (small squid that come with the heads and tentacles attached). I can buy them at my local grocery store in the fresh seafood section. I bought a package of 400 grams though the good thing about this recipe is that you can make as much or as little as you like. Allow me to also explain that here in Spain people tend to eat a lot more fish and seafood than

Spanish names

Image
Maaaaaaaria, I just met a girl named Maria Hopefully you just read that and sang the song from West Side Story in your head. Let's just say that from what I have experienced here in Spain, people really, really like this name. In fact, there are times when it seems like EVERY woman or girl is named Maria (or Maria de/l something) and though they might go by the second part of their name, their given one is still Maria. People definitely opt for traditional names here, unlike the US where names go through trends.  Recently a friend on Facebook posted a link which contained a GIF  (originally from The Atlantic)  showing the different female names that had been popular in the US since 1960. It is interesting to see how a name like Jennifer would be popular in one region and then would sweep the nation. Such a map would not be as cool here in Spain since not a whole lot would change. Maria. Maria del Carmen. Miriam. Marian. Mirian. Variations on a theme. Religious names I
