This is a half order of parpatana of tuna...with curried coconut sauce...the parpatana is a very fatty cut of the fish, located between the head and the belly..somewhere in there !!! I doubt if you would find this cut outside Spain and even then, not outside restaurants in this area and in Madrid...(Maribel will know more!!). If you see it on a menu--order it..you have not had any part of any fish that tastes anything like this one.....outstanding!!! Can this really come from the sea????

A pair of "alistado" prawns from Huelva, source of some of Europe's most adored shrimp. Spanish restaurants usually leave the head on, for it contains much of the taste. Wipes and water with lemon are offered to clean your fingers. The meat of these was incredibly sweet. No comparison to most shrimp I've tasted in the US, even in Louisiana.

Sashimi of ventresca, raw slices of the bluefin tuna caught every spring along this coast using a sustainable net system dating back to the Phoenicians. Many Japanese gourmands visit this area to eat bluefin tuna. Restaurants use parts of the fish from the brain to the tail and almost everything in between. The next day I visited EL CAMPERO, considered by many to be the best tuna restaurant in the world. Many Japanese come there to indulge.

Complimentary croqueta filled with spinach and local Payoyo cheese; you can almost always depend on croquetas to be delicious!! So if you see nothing else on a menu that appeals, go for these. They might not be as delicious as this one, but you will probably be happy with your choice. More usual fillings are jamon, cheese, and both together.

These are the roads like I've been navigating almost every day; very little traffic and fun to drive! I always request that my rental car has a built-in GPS, which makes getting lost almost impossible, and gives me so much peace of mind, driving alone and sometimes after dark. Sunset comes about 7:30pm this third week in March
