Spanish Roadkill- a baker's dozen


When my French Kitchen gets side tracked, as it often does, it’s usually because I live too close to Spain—close to the Atlantic, close to the Mediterranean and close to… a completely different palate. From the latest Spanish Road Trip with Signor Clinch, a dozen pictures of markets and bars in Gallicia.

Gallicia of pulpo, Ribeiro, chorizo, morcillo, and corporal and spiritual pilgrims.

I love the pilgrim photo. I remember doing the same when we walked the camino. From the photo I assume they are looking at the tetilla cheese. I've told many people about that particular cheese.

We were there 2 years ago in May... Gorgeous area. I really enjoyed Gallicia, the coast, the food...
Didn't get to see much of the church as it was a Sunday and packed for Mass (We were on a road trip from Portugal back to France).
Now I'm farsick for Spain....

That granite market is beautiful! I've never seen anything like it -- but I haven't been to Spain that much either!
