Bread is one of the most important things in our tapas culture. Not only to elaborate the “pichos” but also to do the “moja moja” (as I call it). This is to deep some bread into the many sources the food comes with, so you do not leave a hint of any of the beautiful olive oil, or tomato source… bread is sometimes even more important than the food you are eating!
This is why you will like to know that in Alicante there are two bakeries that are ranked in the listing of Best bakeries in Spain 2019.
One is called BETTER PAN, horno artesano de hoy (near Gran Vía shopping mall) and the other one is called PAN DE ORO (https://www.facebook.com/Panaderia-pan-de-oro-507591555919664/) (Av. Condomina San Juan beach).

Do you think it would be worth a walk there to check how nice that bread is?
------------------------
El pan es una de los productos más importantes en la cultura de tapas. No sólo para elaborar los pinchos, sino también para hacer el “moja moja”, como yo lo llamo. Es decir, para mojar las estupendas salsas que vienen con la comida. A veces es casi más importante el pan que la comida en si misma.
Por esta razón, te gustará saber que dos negocios alicantinos han conseguido colarse este año en el ranking de las mejores panaderías de todo el país y aparecer en La Ruta Española del Buen Pan 2019.
El horno artesano BETTER PAN, horno artesano de hoy, ubicado en la plaza del Alcalde Agatángelo Soler, repite por tercer año consecutivo en este reconocimiento otorgado por Panàtics y Pan de Calidad. Por su parte, PAN DE ORO (https://www.facebook.com/Panaderia-pan-de-oro-507591555919664/) emplazado en la avenida Condomina, se estrena en la lista.
¿Crees que estaría bien ir a visitarlas?

Visiting a very special place... the personal project of Pepe Mendoza C Agrícola. Placed in a valley called Vall de Pop, it is a quiet and beautiful setting to produce the perfect grapes and elaborate one of the most authentic and honest wines in . The visit has so many possibilities and different sides; history, scenery, culture, wine and gastronomy... it is sooo interesting...

Alicante´s City Hall has placed a curious piece of street furniture that seems to create confusion amongst users. There has been a series of bad jokes about it this week; could it be for parking your bike? your dog? your horse?
could it be for placing umbrellas? or to park scooters?
could it be a place to excercise for midgets?

Jokes apart, it is a new type of bench, specially indicated for people with sciatica and allows elderly people to have a quick rest before they keep going.
The problem is, elderly people do not use it because they do not know what it is for and also they think it is a bit dangerous...
Don´t you think a little explanation next to the bench would be convenient?
Here you can see a video of it (only in Spanish); https://www.diarioinformacion.com/multimedia/videos/alicante/2019-11-08-188154-misterio-mobiliario-urbano-alicante.html

And this weekend near Alicante, the Music Festival Primavera Sound Weekender
We recommend this festival because its lineup is great and very complete and it is much less crowded than other festivals in the summer.
Plus it takes place in a quirky place; Robin Hood´s Medieval Castle in Alfaz del Pi 🙃

Have you ever been to the Mistery of Elche? It is something unique in the world.
Specially its music. Some of the pieces are from medieval times... But I can guarantee you will go goose bumps when you hear them...
Winters representation is good as it is not as hot as in the summer.
Would you like to come with us and live it?..

"Hi Mireia,

We´re back to cold Sweden now and are already missing Alicante. I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful tour you gave us. After the trip I’ve opened my eyes for wine more than ever before. I will recommend you for friends and colleges if they ever visit Alicante.

Thank you, and hope to see you again 😊"

Thank you Ibrahim.

They met the new and the old flavours, they tried liquid raisings, they had the best wine in Alicante, a 1950s Fondillon, and the best "toñas" from ElFornet, they tried super cool exotic outfits and then went for lunch to have truffles, amazing tomatoes, artichokes, and more wine TR Cabernet Savignon.. and all these without rushing around at a very nice pase.. enjoying every minute of it.. enjoying life, just like that.. because... Hey!.. they are on holiday! 😋 All the best my friends from near London.
