Our final night in Ibiza was cause for celebration for many reasons, this spectacular sunset was one of them! After traipsing around this beachfront every evening, we landed on a reservation at Ohana for the special occasion. Be sure to book, as the place was packed and with great reason! To start, we had the…

Tuna Tacos and Scenic Views: Experience The Seahorse Club
Well situated on the Playa d’en Bossa is The Seahorse Club, perched just high enough above the beach for perfect views and removed from the folk hawking goods in the sand. Peaceful comes to mind. With it’s well styled space and bright colors, it reminds me of a quirky Kimpton property. Really, you can’t beat…
Hotel Garbi Review: Perfect Ibiza Retreat for Adults
After the busiest summer on record…or nearly… we capped it off with a couple days of proper chill time in Ibiza. Staying in a new area to us, Playa d’en Bossa, the Hotel Garbi was centrally walkable to clubs, restaurants, and even old town which we did one ambitious day. (Nothing like arriving to a…
Mio Basque Urban Food- Bilbao
On my actual birthday, we were flying back through Bilbao so after ditching the rental we headed into the city for a few hours of museums, shopping, and one final, indulgent lunch to keep us fueled through the day including a very lackluster airport lounge. Aftera quick Google recon, we landed a Mio Basque Urban…
Gandarias- San Sebastian
Out to share a giant steak on our last night, we headed to a resto that seemed busy, but turns out it was winding down from VERY late lunches. Oh la la. So Spanish! Lucky for us, we stumbled into Gandarias across the street for a nibble. Thinking we would just have a plate and…
Restaurant Kokotxa- San Sebastian
With one Michelin star, we embarked on my 42nd birthday for what undoubtedly will be the best year yet! We arrived ten minutes ahead of our 20:30 seating to be sharply told the restaurant opens sharply at 20:30. Right. A glass of wine around the corner we must. When we finally were seated, the restaurant…
Catalonia Donosti Hotel- San Sebastian
The Gentleman whisked me away for a surprise birthday weekend for the second year in a row. Feeling like the luckiest girl in the world, the destination remained secret even until we landed! (Think standing backwards at the gate with earphones on blast!) I only found out when we landed next to a giant Bilbao…
Fermin Cableton- San Sebastian
The first night in San Sebastian brought exciting pinchos bars at every turn. Honestly, there were just too many to choose from and we started selecting based on if the crowds seemed like they were around our age- not parental generation or twenty something debauchery. So, we landed at Fermin Cableton which was absolutely packed…
Spanish Tortilla
After a year where Spain played such a big part in my life, it only made sense to plan a new year’s eve party for two around the theme of tapas. Fueled by the Iberico birthday ham purchase, we tried our hand at making croquettes, shrimp with garlic, and the surprise standout of a Spanish…
Caelis- Barcelona
If you’re turning 41 or are in the neighborhood of central Barcelona, please, please do yourself a date impressing birthday favor and give Caelis a go. With the option of a romantic table or bar looking at the kitchen, we last minute chose the later. Is there much better than a tasting menu at a…
