Didi not mean to post this, but it's pretty...my last look at Espana, hasta la proxima! One year I flew over landscapes that looked exactly like those Edward Burtynsky aerial photos...I think those were taken in Aragon...I'll post about these to give an idea of what I'm talking about..

Sautéed pulpitos....ubiquitous squid dish in Cadiz province..these are exceptionally delicious, as I would expect from ANTONIO. By the way, this is a family owned and operated restaurant going back several generations. I suspect its been renovated and upgraded more than once in its time...

After the salad, a media racion of one exquisite roasted artichoke, stuffed with lamb sweetened by a Port sauce. Incredible dish at a most incredible restaurant. Bag at rear holds picos, like miniature breadsticks; I look for the ones made with olive oil. They make all-too-good late night snacks and are an Andalucian staple.

The peeled and roasted tomato near upper left left me bedazzled. How can any tomato taste so sublime? The only info I got was that it was, yes, "peeled and roasted," and then added to the salad which contained ingredients from borage to blueberries. Unforgettable! A meat restaurants with some of the greatest salads I've ever sampled! Bravo!

Continuing on with this year's lunch at LA CASTILLERIA: I thought the salad I ate there lat year might have been the best of my life. That one had Cecina and when I ordered it again, my lovely waiter suggested that I have something different this time, similar but with "Duck prosciutto" instead of the Cecina. This tied with last year's for one of the best salads..ever! Can you see how many ingredients composed this glory? And how stunningly it is plated?

I adored those snails in Cordoba so when I saw this little fellow on a tree in "my" Vejer backyard, I had to take a photo. I looked for him every day after that but he had snuck off!
