Pão de Deus, translating to "God’s Bread’’, holds a special place in Portugal’s culinary tradition. Whether enjoyed as a breakfast indulgence or a delightful afternoon treat, the soft, pillowy rolls, coated with coconut and a sweet sugar glaze, are very popular among the Portuguese people.
Its origin can be traced back to conventual sweets and traditional recipes crafted by nuns and monks in Portuguese convents. These religious communities were known for their expertise in creating delectable treats, often using simple, yet quality ingredients.

While visiting Oviedo, in the lush green region of Astúrias in northern Spain, we had the opportunity to witness the artistry of cider production. Asturian cider, known as "sidra," holds a special place in the cultural and culinary heritage of Spain as it is deeply rooted in tradition and reflects the region's commitment to preserving its identity. We were able to see the iconic 'escanciado' – the pouring of cider from a height to introduce air to the drink – which added a touch of spectacle to this centuries-old tradition.
With the picturesque apple orchards as a background, we quite enjoyed tasting the different varieties of the fruit involved in the production of this regional drink that dates back to, at least, the 11th century.

If you find yourself in the beautiful city of Porto, don’t miss out on the stunning tile murals at the train station of São Bento. The tiles adorning the walls were created between 1905 and 1916, by the Portuguese artist Jorge Colaço. The vibrant azulejos tell a vivid and captivating story of Portugal's history, culture, and daily life. Murals of around 20,000 tiles depict scenes ranging from important historical events to rural landscapes and urban activities, providing a visual narrative that transports onlookers to different eras.

This last weekend we indulged in the robust flavours of pulpo a la feria - a Spanish delicacy that is a true celebration of the country’s gastronomic richness. Tender octopus, perfectly grilled and paired with a touch of olive oil, paprika, and a squeeze of lemon. Unforgettable evenings start with exceptional dishes, and pulpo a la feria, with its wonderful flavour profile, never fails to delight the taste buds. Cheers to savoring the beautiful Galícian cuisine!

During our Christmas break we decided to go back in time and explore the opulent Palácio Nacional de Queluz, in the town of Queluz, district of Lisbon. The palace, a true masterpiece of the 18th century Rococo style, dazzled us with its lavish interiors adorned with frescoes and entrancing chandeliers.
Before leaving, we went on a lovely stroll through the gardens of the palace where we found fountains, beautiful statues and hidden grottoes, all adding to the overall feeling of enchantment one can experience while there. Some even refer to the palace as the mini‘’Portuguese Versailles’’, due to all its detailed luxury, which we very much enjoyed observing.

As the coffee enthusiasts that we are, we found ourselves discovering Café Iruña, while strolling through the streets of Pamplona.
This iconic and historic coffeehouse was founded in 1888, and has always been a busy meeting spot for artists and writers. The beautiful antique furniture and the ornate Moorish inspired décor build a truly inviting atmosphere, reminiscent of an elegant and luxurious bygone era.
