Josele is real name, and I am male. You can print the post and show it.
The Ñ letter you can pronounce as the portuguese "nh" in "sosinho" or better as catalans do it, with ny, such as Espanyol. It is a tricky sound to pronounce. Please do not forget to book in advance, even the day before if you can. Lunch time begins here at about 2:00PM.

Hi pdx,
These little 125 ml Tetra bricks make really easy gifts to bring back to friends. We always take a 3 bottle padded wine carrier with us and stuff the carrier with these little bricks and stick the carrier in our checked baggage along with the specially made wine boxes we buy at a Spain post office. We also take a collapsable duffle to use for shipping back our clothes, so our suitcases can be used for the "important" stuff!-wine, oils, sauces, pates, tins of stuffed Piquillo peppers, etc.

Here's the link to the brand, Arte Oliva-

As lin says, the ali-oli is great with arroz a banda.
Penelope Casas has a recipe for the sauce and the arroz a banda in her Foods and Wines of Spain cookbook (p. 185-186).
