Travels with a Gourmet

a food lover's travels, memorable meals, culinary trials and gastronomic experiences


After the rains last weekend, I was surprised with this morning’s bright blue skies and sun.  An Indian summer’s day perfect for an al fresco lunch on the beach, probably the last one for the season before the chiringuitos (beach restaurants) shut for the winter.
A and I sat at a table right by the sea with our toes buried in the sand and enjoyed a quiet lunch a deux of tomato,avocado and tuna salad, chopitos (deep-fried tiny squid) and a small seafood paella.  The last time I was at La Playa Fantastica was at the end of August with my good friend T whose birthday is today and who is now back home starting a new life.  (Here’s to you T – Good luck and Happy Birthday!!!).  Till next summer and more al fresco lunches and lazy days on the beach.
