Breakfast in Sevilla

Breakfast in Sevilla was the best I had anywhere in Spain. Unfortunately, we were only there for two nights. But picture this- FRESH squeezed orange juice (when i mean fresh, I mean they have a little machine behind the counter for squeezing oranges. So let's just say when you take it to your table, it was probably squeezed 20 secs. ago.), vibrant orange, almost like it was glowing. Little bit of pulp, and a strong, but pure flavor. Then the gave you sandwiches on really good bread. On the bread you could have butter, smushied tomatoes and olive oil, or meat; called jamon. It was so so so so so so so good!

Gelato...

...the most popular type of store in Spain.  We went out for gelato three or four times in twelve days. Lemon, bubble gum, chocolate, hazelnut, coffee, orange, chocolate orange, Nutella, caramel peanut, watermelon, pineapple, and many more flavors. Our favorite gelato place was in Granada, we called it the "chunka chunka" gelato place, because in the gelato, they had big chunks of food advertising the flavors. In the watermelon, they had a half a watermelon carved-and it looked like a flower! In the coffee, they had huge, dark chocolate covered coffee beans. Sticks of vanilla, orange slices, chunks of chocolate, mango, hazelnuts... Yaaaaaaay!!!!

Dried Fruit and Spice Markets

Yummy yummy yum yum yummy!!!!  The fruit and spice markets were definitely one of the perks of Granada. From dried mango and kiwi and pineapple and melon to all sorts of spices i've never heard about to honey and eucalyptus candies, they had it all. My family got a little baggie of dried melon, mango, strawberries, and french jelly candy thingies. My favorite was the mango. Note- Trader Joe's dried mango is also very very very good. Yummy yummy yum yum yummy!!!!

Mango

Ok, it's a (very cute) clothing store, but it is called Mango!!!! It has amazingly cute clothes!!!! Colored scarves, dresses, flats, heels, shawls, jeans, skirts, bangles, tees, jackets, socks, leggings, purses, clutches, hats, wraparound belts. Yaaaaaaaaaaay!!!! Unfortunatly, it's all the way in Spain, but i can give you the link!!!!

Tapas

In Spain, there is this wonderful little thingie, called "tapas"(also, there is a wonderful little thingie called "zapatería", meaning shoe store, but back to tapas...). When you go to almost any bar or restaurant, when you order a drink, you get a small free plate of food, a tapa. Some reastaurants have tapas menus, where others will just bring you a tapa.  Taps can be anything- from fried calamari, to dressed tomatoes, to grilled goat cheese with honey (my favorite tapa!!!!). Because of "siesta" which can be anywhere from 2-7 hours, most tapas places don't even open until 9:00 p.m. At about 5:00 p.m., it's a ghost town there, and then at 10:30,  you see three year olds tottering around with gelato! But it's worth it to stay up for tapas- free food!
