I love this photo (from Twitpic) of gingercake and Pedro Ximénez wine. PX is an intensely sweet sherry made from the grape of the same name left to dry in the hot Spanish sun, concentrating the sugars, and aged using the solera system. Two of the Spanish wine regions making PX wine are Montilla-Moriles and Málaga, both in Andalucía.

Wine Country Walking Tour
We want to thank you so much for the incredible experience. We truly loved it and have a special place in our hearts for Spain because of it. It was nice to get to know you and we really hope to get better acquainted in the future...perhaps for the “walking tour” again or another adventure!

Priorat Wine Tour
My visit to the Priorat simply would not have been the same without Epicurean Ways. They got me into the best wineries. My guide knew just the right restaurants and personally knew the owners. It was wonderful. You go a long way to get there. Why not make the experience truly worth the journey?

Barcelona Walking Tour
Oh my, the food! The first morning we arrived dropped off our bags and headed to Boqueria Market, a feast for the eyes and soul. Snacked at both El Quim and Bar Pinotxo, “pointing” as you suggested and were not disappointed. George introduced us to Sagardi for tapas, some of my favorites: empanadillas de champiñones, gambas pil-pil, chorizo, “Gildas,” anchoas de cantabria. We also loved the Iberian acorn ham that literally melted in your mouth. The absolute best however, the simple patatas bravas at Bar Tomas in Sarrià.
