After a gin distillery tour an tasting (yikes!) we took a long stroll down the street back towards the city center vowing that we’d do a “tapas crawl” along the way. A plate at a handful of places and call it a dinner. Our first stop happened to be Collonut, seemingly a well-frequented locals spot…

H10 Metropolitan- Barcelona
Last weekend stared my forty-first trip around the sun and with that came a surprise getaway from the gentleman. Little did I know that he’d managed to spell out the destination in an anagram buried in our shared calendar. Turns out I wasn’t so clever and it took me sussing it all out on the…
Jose Carlos Garcia- Malaga
After reading that Jose Carlos Garcia was a Michelin starred restaurant on the waterfront in Malaga, I knew it was the perfect location for my anniversary dinner, celebrating a year in remission. I’d booked in advance thinking I’d enjoy a cozy, indulgent one as I do. Lucky, me it turns out I’d have a partner-in-crime,…
Hotel Miramar- Malaga
For a truly special occasion, it was beach front or bust. I need something easily accessible from the airport with a few good restaurants nearby. Malaga’s grand Hotel Miramar it would have to be. And just look at the place; it’s spectacular. The lobby has a Moorish lean to it, which is something new to…
KGB- Malaga
Everyone tells you to be sure to eat late in Spain so we went rogue one evening, with no dinner reservation, determined to just turn up somewhere around 21:00 – really not even so late, is it? The only place who seemed to have room for us was KGB and we were very glad they…
Bibo Dani Garci- Puente Romano
Wow. This name alone reminds me I’m working in a different universe! One Michelin star, many laughs, long looks over the Puente Romano courtyard below…Amazing that this place even exists. Tuna tartare, always here for it! Is there anything a spot of rioja and brisket sandwich won’t fix? Answer: hell, no… Was Bibo Dani Garcia,…
Gastrobar Sabores y Sensaciones
A forty-five minute stroll along the coast and boardwalk brings a Malaga-goer to Playa Pedregeljo. A lively fishing village along a rocky coastline hosted plenty of beach front restaurants and not a slice of shade in sight. So after a few hours of ocean swimming, it was time for lunch at Gastrobar Sabores y Sensaciones….
Caleta Playa- Malaga
Oh…the last day of vacation blues are always hard…but with views like these it seemed essential to have a final toes-in-the-sand sort of lunch to bid Malaga farewell. The many beachfront restaurants had various apparatus for grilling fish en plein air…Calete Playa opted for a small rowboat of hot coals. Lunch brought us (as always)…
Can Carlitos- Formentera
During our stay at Montesol Experimental, we were a stone’s throw from the ferries to Formentera, so one blissfully hot afternoon we enjoyed the open wind on the water and set sail. Ok, it was more like a massive barge with some seats on top, but the many yachts surrounding us, it felt rather glamorous….
