Here’s a fascinating website called Sounds of Barcelona (Sons de Barcelona) which consists of recordings of street life from around the city. The sounds give a sense of how much street life there is in that jewel of the Mediterranean.

I have taken ten trips to Spain, but the best trip was the one Gerry Dawes orchestrated. His love and knowledge of the foods and wines of Spain are intoxicating. His ever present enthusiasm made my Spanish experiences with him memorable.

Cooking in Bilbao
The class was really good. It was held in a restaurant that requires reservations-similar to one of the “cooking clubs” that was closed to women for years. It was going to be full for lunch so we not only got to see them prepare our meal but several others as well. It was interesting and informative to watch the chef work and be able to ask him questions. He made a sauce we had had a few days before and could not identify. Now we can make it-if we want to deal with salted cod. He also made pisto, the Spanish version of ratatouille. The Spanish, or really the Basque, have a different twist that we will now incorporate when we make the dish.

Cooking in Barcelona
The cooking class was fantastic. I also did one in France and the Barcelona one was much better. I would consider doing the three day country one if ever in Spain again.
